Mr Gone

I hope you searched out the Mr Gone song I suggested.
The main bassline is great for the right hand especially.
it really gets you crossing the strings and makes you alternate your 1st and 2nd fingers.
I love teaching this song for sure, so again it's from E to D  then E to D again then A to G.
All Octaves with 2 notes on each lower and upper note.
Make sure you watch the rests on beat 1and 4 makes it tricky and you gotta count!!!!

the vamp at the end of the song is killer too, total jaco messing with the down beat and making a theoretically simple line sound difficult.very cool lick check it out for sure.

The Fancy bass will be coming up pretty soon don't worry..
It will be worth the wait.
see you soon

First Time

Here I go, this is my first Blog Ever.Snowing on a Sunday afternoon in Colorado.
Iam going to be featuring a new bass I just acquired with some photos,link to video and talk about this Fancy Bass.
Stay tuned!!!
Until then practice tyour scales daily and keep grounded to the essentials in music studies.
I suggest checking out an old favorite MR.Gone album by weather report.
Especially the track River people, if you need to practice some octaves and string crossing ,this is your song.
E to D to A to G
See you soon
