    I am bit more in the advance stages and I can see how this video will help the beginner and intermediate bass players. I wish I had this type of video lessons and backing tracks to practice when I started.

    Great stuff.

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Alex love those base lines. Wish I could purchase everything you put out, but finance is tight. When things get better I will.

    Alex,

    Thanks for the lines and tunes. I have been working on your Bass Guitar Secrets and got stalled in the middle of book two. Any suggestions? My bass playing improved but I’m stuck.

    Oh man! I love those tracks. I’m learning to play from scratch. My friend has his own rock band. He needs a bass player. He shows me the notes to play and I can keep up and go with it. Although, using a pick. I play a little basic guitar. I believe your tracks will help. Thanks!

    Hi Alex!

    I enjoyed this clip….this is what I’ve been looking for all along…the closeup of the fretboard and left hand helps, especially at the slower tempo. I have other videos by you and other bassists but, I need to work my way up to those levels….my time is very limited and I get discouraged when I don’t see any significant improvement…this video will make me dust my bass off and try again!

    Alex,

    I enjoyed the lesson and I can’t wait to practice them. I have also enjoyed your bass course that I ordered about a year ago. You are right, though, the biggest struggle for me is that I stay so busy. Thanks for the ongoing tutorials that help the busy people like myself, who still like to progress little by little on their bass skills, but have limited time available to do it.

    Thanks again,

    Thomas

    As a former professional electric bass player it was quite wonderfully accidental that I found the Alex Sampson website. His sample lessons are truly beneficial for the beginner-intermediate player and an old pro like me looking to get back his groove. The video tutorials are among the best I’ve ever seen. Looking forward to getting the “Groove” back with Alex.

    Alex hope the video is downloadable, like what you did on Michael Jacksons Rock with you, but it sad i was not able to download it, hope you can give me a link to download the video including this one,
    Im still studying your CGX system im still at volume 1, on the modes chapter, its great, but i still suggest that the system is on DVD or it has a video, so it kinda interactive for us who follows your system.
    Tnx alex for such great system.

    Hello Alex
    It’s good to hear from you.Coming up with GOOD BASS LINES on the spot has always be a problem for me. I have gotten some bad looks at church when I decline to play for fear of messing up.I have tried everything and spent much more than a little money on promises that have let me down.Before I spend any more money I have to know that your program does what you say it does.
    Thanks
    Don

    Thanks Alex! I am an older beginning bass player, and as much as I have the greatest interest, I just can’t find a lot of time for practice as I’d like and should. You make it seem so easy, which encourages a lot of beginners like myself. I especially like the way you slow things down to check out the fingering. Only thing I have a little bit of a problem with is not seeing which string you’re playing when you’re using the flat portion of your fingers to finger a note rather than your finger tips (like in the video of “Another One Bites The Dust”. Thanks again your help! It’s inspiring for those who don’t catch it as quick and easy. God Bless You My Brother!

      Hey Clay glad you got something from the video! In terms of getting all the notes I played don’t rely just on the video.. that’s what the tabs are for. 😉 we sent them to your email address. check it out
