this video, I am going to focus on building good
fundamental skills in many styles and aspects of playing
bass. I chose material that has proven to be effective
and can be practiced in a short amount of time.
Although some of these exercises might seem simple
for you, once you master them, your playing will
progress and you will be able to express yourself better
on your instrument – all of my students have shown

being played, there are certain skills that are essential
for playing with other musicians and expressing one’s
self freely on one’s instrument: a good ear, a strong
sense of rhythm, and basic knowledge of music theory.
The point of this video is not to give you a collection of
’hot licks’ to spice up your playing, but to help you
understand and master the guitar and become a more
complete and professinoal player. Once you have a
solid grasp of the basics, everything becomes easier
and more enjoyable – copying songs, learning and
applying new techniques, improvising, etc. These
exercises will definitely help you improve: my playing
and my students’ playing are proof.” Includes an 80page booklet. 60 minutes.
