Here's one for you on a framework to look at how I got my church chops together. This one is more for you if you have areas you are looking to tighten up and feel a lot of frustration currently your playing. Tick them off step by step. What part of this do you resonate with the most?

I’m curious, what do you enjoy doing outside of music? It’s easy to get so caught up in music and forget that we are all real people here. Let me know, what are you into outside of music?

Not in a head to head! I've been building back up some slap bass as it's been neglected for a while. Run for Cover is a beastly track, mostly for all those ghost notes. Anyway here's me getting to grips with it and breaking down a couple of those articulations. Stay blessed.

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.
