    Alex, I’m so grateful at last I found someone who can identify my needs, This is incredible and just what I need after all these years of wondering, just came across the net looking for something to lift my uninviting bass lines to a level I can be really proud of. Please let me know how I’m going to get all these in full and more. Note!!! I prefer the crush ones more than anything but it is hard to learn from the net all the time when you do experience difficulties sometimes. I’m new to your website, so I am ignorant on how things are done on your site. please fill me with all the details. Thank you and God bless.

    This is worth the $$$X10. Thank you. My dream is play music with both my sons who are both professional musicians. I stopped laying the trumpet many years ago. I started playing the bass but could hear the patterns clearly enough to master the instrument. Now I am on my way.
    Thanks so much!!!

    I learned in the first 10 minutes of this lesson something about chord construction and how to integrate notes into a riff from just knowing the chords. Even though completely ignorant about how I may personally make music happen, I’ve always wondered about the subject explained in this lesson, yet never knew quite where to look for the information. Thanks.

    AMEN!!!!!! Alex, I have to tell you that I’m not sure why you would EVER have a question about your ability and not have confidence in what you are doing. You are an AMAZING bass player and you teach so well. I can learn more from you in a few minutes than I ever have from (so-called) teachers. I have a lot of your stuff and continue to learn more and more from your videos.

    Thanks for the GREAT stuff.

    AMEN, Alex,
    you have serious skill and a love for the music, I wouldn’t expect you to have any confidence issues with that much love to spread around.
    This video has boosted my song writing skills by double, ‘cos now I can write in the base lines as well.
    Before, I only knew the root notes from the open string to about the fifth or maybe the seventh fret and didn’t have any sort of confidence to apply artistry to base ‘cos I never thought people actually did that. I always thought guitarists were the flashy ones.

    Very well done Alex. I have been playing by ear for a long time, but I seem to be stuck right now and I am looking more into theory to get moving again. Your instruction is clear and on point and very well articulated. You’re doing a great job and you probably have a bright future ahead of you in music, if that is the path you choose. Good luck to, and keep up the teachings.

    Love the videos. Only problem I have is that I am a beginner (2 weeks) and I’m still trying to get my
    fingers to hit the correct notes (they don’t stretch far enough).
    Is it normal for your fingertips to go numb from a lot of practicing?

      Hi Tom nice to have you around – Yes it is totally normal, soon enough you’ll build up some calluses on your fingers and some flexibility too. Keep working with the 2nd lesson I sent you (video 2)
