    In Lesson 6 of TMBG, Roy offers up a session of great Blues shuffling, and the practice song that goes with it ("Shufflin' Along") is one of my faves to play, TMBG band or no band. It's just a jumping little number that was fun to learn. Play it slow and grinding, or fast and punchy, but play it with that Blues attitude!

    Muting those ringing strings on a bass can involve palm or finger use...or a scrunchie? I did not know that wrapping a scrunchie over your frets could be a practical substitute for palm or finger muting.

    If you're thinking of having a go at a fretless, the lined fingerboard of the new Ibanez SR370F gives you another reason to try!

    MODEL: SR370F
    FINISH: BROWN BURST

    Standard SR basses offer a wide line-up, from beginner to working pros. From higher-end Bartolini pickups to Ibanez EXF pickups, they are versatile enough to play any kind of music, while SR's signature "Slim & Fast" neck gives you great playability.

    Grab your guitar or bass and microphone, plug into the new eBand from BOSS, and amaze your friends, family, and fans! The eBand JS-10 is self contained and small, but fills the room with full-range sound from its 2.1 sound system and pro BOSS effects.

    Now that Teach Me Bass Guitar has earned its place as the best self-paced bass instruction course in the world, we thought we'd ask Roy to look back on its creation and tell us how he feels about its unparalleled success.
