    Hi Alex, Good to hear from you again, talk about busy with two jobs for about 14 hours a day. If I can get in about three hours per week I’m lucky, so this hits the spot!

    Alex it is obvious that your are a gifted bassist. What is really impressive is that you are generous with your knowledge and your resources. So many time musicians on your level are unwilling to help beginners and intermediates discover the broader horizons of music. THANKS MAN GOOD LOOKING OUT!

    Thanks a lot Alex. You hit the nail on the head. I’m one of those whose always busy with with work, and with not enought time to practice and absolve all the basis, and techniques of bass playing. I’m somewhat an intermediate bass player, and I play in church. I love music, and touching basis on different types and styles of music is great. And the way you lay it all out is fabulous. I play by ear, because I’m self taught, and I can pick up by ear pretty good. But I really want to learn more of the basics, read music, and all that other good stuff, to go along with my ear. If I can find a lil more time to get more involved, along with you by my side, I know great things lies ahead for me as a musician. Thank you very much for all you have done, and will do, as you bring to us more fundamentals of bass playing. Thanks again Alex. You are outstanding on the bass. (Smile) Keep up the good work, and be blessed… Tyrone Joseph

    it is a great lesson as I am a beginner.

    Alex, this is a perfect approach to someone like myself who is trying to learn bass in my spare time. I’ve always felt that the way to stay motivated is to start playing songs, the theory can come later. I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one with this philosophy, but this video is a huge step in that direction. Thank you for this and I hope there will be more to come.

    Thanks Alex those demo’s were well done I appreciate you going out of your way for us bass players especially like my self that can’t always put in the time like I would like to and just focus on creating bass riffs and of coarse studying the various scales.
    May the Good Lord bless you and yours as you share your knowledge with me and many others.
    Take care my Brother, Francisco Giovanni Colon’
