Hey team, I need suggestions for bass lines to breakdown and tab out for you! Post the link to videos or songs you’d like me to breakdown some of the bass lines for here in the “transcribe this” tab. Make sure to give a specific timestamp as I’ll most likely only do a couple of bars of each.

So the Tears For Fears musical challenge is going round for Everybody Wants To Rule The World 🌍 It’s not gospel but the chord progression is! Hanging around the 4 chord and bouncing back from the 5. I’ll get a little 2 chord loop vamp uploaded. This is just a little snip from morning practice. I sometimes record just to capture ideas that I’ll refine later into something that sounds good 😂 Come up with some ideas, who knows, it might be useful for the May Kingdom Bass Games 👀🤝🏾

Please give a big welcome to the newest member, my daughter, born last week 🙌🏾 you can tell I’ve been a little quieter than usual (and a lot less rested), largely thanks to this one 😌. Don’t worry I’ve got the Uke bass ready and waiting to show her the ropes. But I’m back now and we’ll slowly start ramping things up in here. Let me recap the vision with this group: This group is here to remove the barriers to learning to play, especially for our church musicians. The community will grow into all you NEED to get going and playing in church. I know what it’s like to not be able to afford, or even find good music lessons, especially someone that can teach the information that is directly useful for playing on a Sunday service. To be clear, this group will always be free, but we are going to be operating on the crowdfunding model. I’m setting up a Patreon page and we’re gonna have different goals. It will look something like: Once we hit £1000 per month, I can host live weekly drop in sessions/Q&A At £2500 per month, we’ll provide a small quarterly music gear grant for a member or church (all to be applied for) At £4000+ per month we can increase the frequency or scope of giveaways. Remember the goal is to remove the barriers and as a community, support each other to grow and build thriving teams in churches. There will be no obligation to support but if you like what we’re doing and want to help fellow Christian bassists around the globe then we’d love your support, whether that’s a monthly contribution or one off donation. All the best, C

Name 3 bass players that have influenced your approach to playing Gospel! I’ll go first! For me it’s Justin Raines, Donald Alford & Matt Ramsey

Hey everyone, So excited to have you here. I'm Caleb and grew up playing bass in church but had no one to teach me & was self taught by force. Often we wear self taught as a badge of honour but it's not until I went to uni that I realised how limiting that was for me. Long story short, did my music degree & had a career as a professional bassist in TV, Film, The West End and session work. Now I teach on a music degree course and want to build a community to bring that level of education to people looking to play in church so you don't have to do it the hard way. Let’s learn from each other and let’s shed 👀 Please start by saying hi and introducing yourself below in the comments and let us know how long you've been playing & where you're based. Oh and also, this community is going to reach a wide range of people from different cultures, countries, communities and walks of life so be respectful with everyone and stick to talking about playing bass in church. Any ferocious doctrine or cultural debates will have you removed as that takes away from what this is for - helping people learn to play bass & serve better in churches.
