Just thought you might like to know, Robert, I think I'm gonna find your video lessons useful for figuring out the bass parts for the songs you've done. Basically transpose an octave (or two?) down with some minor changes and I'm good to go. I'm starting out with Big Legged Woman, Superstition is up next. I'm a bit rusty on my bass playing, I think your lessons will help.

Cool, that sounds like fun!

Superstitious has a much simpler bass line though, originally. Just thumping on E ... Smiley

True enough, and I'm good at thumping! As for the rest of your vides,, I should be ableto figure out  aproper bass line for each. If I can figure out the bass for "River" by Gentle Giant, these shouldn't be too hard! (does that sound like bragging?Sorry.)

Just wondering, Robert, you say in the intro to the slap bass tab lesson, you do a bit of bass as well. Is it likely you might at some point do a video or two showing us a couple of bass grooves?

Hmm, I'm a bit rusty on bass... I'm worried I might get too many "you suck" comments on youtube! Smiley
