    Thanks,

    Great video and some great bass riffs. Can’t wait to try them out. Bass volume a bit low – bit hard to hear. But love the idea of these videos. Looking forward to more!

    Just what I need. I have your bass guitar secrets course and bass chopz but, have been lacking the discipline to really get into them as deeply as I should. Thanks for putting out these these courses in a clearly understandable way.

    Very, very good. I’m a beginner and this helped so very much. I don’t have the time to practice a lot and I don’t have very much money to pay for lesson so I’m doing it on my own. Thanks so much.

    Man this stuff is so helpful. Really helps build confidence. I love it. You hit the nail right on the head.
    May I suggest adding a quick comment on the chord note selections to brainstorm why the artist may have selected those specific notes – a good brain exercise. Thank you. Awsome!

    The only 1 I’d played before was the Cream riff but this was in anew position, so it freshened it up for me. I’d always loved the Come Together riff and now I can play it! Can’t believe how simple it is – Thanks a lot Alex.

    Alex, Thank you for this and you are right on. I have purchased a number of your lesson packages over the years and tried to learn from them. I must admit I have had major ebbs and flows during the time. And time was the main factor. I believe this approach you are presenting could get me back into a flow. I am a novice beginner, meaning pre-beginner. With garage band experience left back in the early 70’s and now wishing to pick it up again. Not so easy… this could help. Thanks!!

    I like that name rookie intermediate player. Thats me. I know enough to be dangerous but not enough to build a good bass line. I find that most people I jam with prefer me to improvise so we can jump from song to song. I think your training is what I need.

    Great e-mail. Great idea! I lived the riffs and the way they are presented. Only one suggestion. I am rally into bluegrass and country/western music. I am in a small band and I find your videos, while great and informative not too useful. an you give us c/w’s some help?
    At any rate keep up the good work and I will keep on playing.
