Course Review: Scott’s Bass Lessons “A Bass Player’s Approach to Ear Training and Intervals”

I am really enjoying the courses that Scott’s Bass Lessons has to offer. I just finished Adam Neely’s course called, “A Bass Player’s approach to Ear Training and Intervals.” For me, this course was difficult to understand.

Book Review: “Way Down: Playing Bass with Elvis, Dylan, The Doors & More” – The Autobiography of Jerry Scheff

This is really a SUPER book! I couldn’t put this book down. I read it every chance I got and it ended way too soon. Jerry Scheff has always been my all-time bass hero because of his style while playing with Elvis Presley. I knew that he played with The Doors and a few others, but I had no idea of the multitude of huge … Continue reading Book Review: “Way Down: Playing Bass with Elvis, Dylan, The Doors & More” – The Autobiography of Jerry Scheff

Course Review: Scott’s Bass Lessons “Essential Sight Reading for Bass” – Part 1

This is another GREAT course from Scott’s Bass Lessons. I have tried many methods to learn how to read music throughout my life. I have always gotten discouraged or disappointed and quit. I don’t plan on being a studio musician or anything, but I have always wanted to just open up a piece of music and learn the bass line strait from there. Imagine the … Continue reading Course Review: Scott’s Bass Lessons “Essential Sight Reading for Bass” – Part 1
