I am happy to have found this program!
First, let me say that I have a radio/ TV career and the production with these lessons is GREAT! Wish I had this when I was 12 and just fooling around with the bass.
Seems like ever since I picked up the bass, I was jamming with guys and in bands playing gigs. We played mostly cover songs, but "involved" bass songs ( a lot of RUSH/ YES).
My gear: STEINBERGER XP2 (1986), a customized INBANEZ ERGODYNE headless (A-D-G-C) and a fretless CORT CURBOW for my slap/ pop playin'... its a little tough to thumb/ pop on the Steinberger...
The reason I bought this program is because I have never had a bass lesson. Everything I know, I figured out or read about. I did play trumpet in High School reading the treble clef, but that was decades ago! What I want from TMBG is the foundation to my playing: reading the bass clef and a better understanding of scales. I want to fully understand this great instrument! Maybe get into another band again?!?!
I'll wrap this up by saying this program is GREAT so far, I am 3 lessons into it!!! By lesson 2, I was learning!!!!
