If you happen to be an old dinosaur like me, you might want to check out anything by Rush - they move in an out of 3, 4 and 7 seamlessly in many of their songs. You could also have a listen to...
I got a great deal on an Eleven Rack a few months ago and have been using it as a ProTools recording interface for bass and guitar. I decided to go with this device because I was spendng a lot of...
When I finished the TMBG course a couple of years ago I was looking for some way to stay motivated to keep playing/practicing and came up the idea of a monthly "Guitar Challenge" with an old...
I purchased Rocksmith about a year ago on the advice of a friend in order to learn a few new songs on the bass. I used it for Boston's "Peace of Mind" and eventually did learn to play it, but for...
Shen SB200 Willow 3/4-sized. Here it is in action at a recent Coffee House held by his High School Jazz Program:

We visited the Upton Bass showroom last Summer - looking for an upright for my Son, who is heading into the University of Manitoba Faculty of Jazz studies next year. Wonderful folks - gave us a tour...
Roy mentioned Carol Kaye a few times in the TMBG course - you can find her web site at : http://www.carolkaye.com/. I had no idea she played on so many hits. If you click on the "education" tab on...
Had to delete that last video as the new High School policy (just released a day prior to when this video was shot) is that you can't post videos or pictures of anyone other than your own kids at...

Thought I'd include some local Winnipeg talent - Ken "Spyder" Sinnaeve - one of the best rock bassists in Canada - currently tours with...
I was wondering if you would figure that out eventually. After I read your note about 9/11 I put 2 and 2 together - not quite as slow as I might appear:) . . . . almost, but not quite.
Started Lesson 16 today - almost from the start it was like the lesson was written in Greek and Roy was explaining things in the video WAY too fast - spent almost 2 hours and had a lousy, lousy,...
Thanks - I'll pass along all of your very nice comments. That particular ensemble is the only one in the school that requires an audition and there is quite a bit of competition so the kids that...
I ordered both the stand and the keyboard from Musician's Friend. The keyboard is an M-Audio Oxygen 88 with weighted keys. The sliders and knobs are pre-mapped for Protools - my wife is also...
Some amazing practice spaces here. My wife and I also agree that a music room shouldn't be hidden away- ours is on the main floor and the first thing you see when you walk in the front door - have...

This is a Toronto-based group that was popular in the 80s and early 90s called The Spoons. Sandy Horne was/is the bass player - saw them live once and...

A bass player who can play complex lines while singing has my vote.
I've made it up to lesson 13 - working on "Back to School", and am finding it pretty challenging, but I'll get it eventually. Have been putting in an average of 1 hour per day since the early...
Read a biography of Mark King a while back - he first got my attention playing with Level 42 - I think he actually started out as a drummer. A percussive playing technique like this on the bass...
No, I stayed out of the room and let them do their thing. One of my greatest achievements as a parent has been learning when to get out of their way. We have a Protools workstation in that room and...
Yes, it sounds like he's upset that the kids aren't putting in the hours. That can apply to many things - not just music. He's generally a pretty positive person and his entire family gives a great...
The level of musicianship in Rush is so high - just consistently impressive from album to album, although I'm happier that they are back to their power trio format - it really shows off their chops. ...
This is very helpful - thanks!
Generational? Maybe. But I've never heard my kids mention any of these groups either. Volume and distortion just don't do it for me, although they do allow mistakes to be less noticeable. I hope...
I play an Ibanez SR-900 - probably a significantly thinner neck than the Jazz, and I love it. I wonder if the neck thickness/string separation preference would be related to playing style - somebody...
