    Hi Alex, Its soo good to finally hear from you. I am a purchaser of your Bass guitar secrets,however, my harddrive has crashed so I have no way of getting the information back. The last time i spoke to you I was recovering from a ‘stroke’ and your words of encouragment really helped. I’ve regained the use of my left hand, its not 100% but I thank God for my life, my brother-in-law has been helping me as much as he could, he’s from philly also (Doug Grigsby lll) and a bass player. Believe it or not its the simple grooves that I have forgotten and this helps (visually and tonally) so in closing, thanks again and if you can send me the dwnld page again it would be ‘great’.
    I understand if its no longer available.

    Hey Alex, looks like a good idea. This session is a bit basic for me, but im sure it will be well received for beginers. Hope you have some more advanced ones comin up.

    You know what, whenever i do a sound check before a gig i just dont know what to play so i dont look like a total a*s! Everyone has some ‘impressive line’ when they do their instrument sound check (sax, guitarist, drums, keys etc)…..me on bass….sounds like im playing ‘One Note Samba’ or maybe three notes just to make sure there is sound coming out the front of house. Im OK when we get into the gig, but sound pretty shabby @ the sound check. Have you got anything i can do at the sound check to make me sound like the other pros on stage? Maybe its because im sh*t when it comes to bass soloing.

    Cheers,
    Johan

    Cool video. I’d like to see your plucking to see how your hitting some of those staccato and rythmic attacks your doing.
    I’m a guitar player turned bass player about 6 years now. I’d like a chance to see a forum where we can pick your brain to see what products or tips you have to fill the gaps I have in my playing. I play mostly contemporary Christian worship music which uses the major scales. Maybe I should go back to the Bass Secrets and try to continue with the program…..i hit a wall around the music theory section.

    Very well done, A little hard at times to see which finger he is actually using….But If i have the notes I really don’t need to see..BUT hearing how it goes and beng able to play with the video helps…
    I have been playing 8 yrs, learned from my husband who is a guitarist, and really doesn’t play bass…I Have played a little of everything, but mostly on the church worship team for years.
    Will be looking forward to more lessons……
    Thanks.

    Welcome back…I’ve missed your emails and such. The idea to help beginners through beginner/intermediate players is perfect. I play in a band, and every now and then at the end of a great lead from our guitar players, I get the eye to try and put some magic together. At best, it is hit and miss…I just can’t seem to step it up. I’m looking forward to more and any course you may offer.

    Alex-
    No doubt you have the chops to cover anything on the bass.
    But maybe more importantly is the fact that you have such a great teaching style.
    You deliver the goods very clearly.
    Guess what I saying is that a cat can be a great player but a lousy teacher.
    You are blessed with chops and communication skills.

    In the Groove!

      Lou I appreciate hearing that because it is something I try to focus on – conveying information in a way that people can get it… A person’s ability to play great (like you said) really means nothing more than inspiration to someone else… We try to be of more value than just inspiration! Thanks man!

    Hey man…what can I say!?…You are becoming one of the greatest online teachers. This is great quality video in technical aspect and educational as well…You slowed it down perfectly…not to slow not to fast. Some videos, online, slow it down way to slow that you loose concept of the song…
    Only thing I would ask you to do is try to move fingers on your left hand, that you don’t use, to see more clearly what finger and fret are you pushing…I know, technically, it wont be perfect playing but It wasn’t clear in some moments what finger and fret are you pushing…It’s just hard to see some time on the video compare to be there in person and watch you playing.
    Keep a great job Alex…It’s very nice that you are backing up your instructional work, that you sell, with this free instructional videos.
