Hello and thanks for stopping by my site. I'm really excited about my
latest book, "Total
Funk Bassist" and the feedback I have received from many whom
have enjoyed working through it. Anyone who might be coming to my Slap
and Funk bass seminar in New Milford CT might want to bring a copy along.
I'm also excited about the
feedback from Talk Bass subscribers about my "Total
Jazz Bassist" book, which I co-wrote with friend and great
bassist Tim Ferguson.
Here are the Bass Seminars

My
latest book, Total Funk Bassist has just been released and is available
in all music stores as well as Amazon and many other bookstores. Border
Books has followed Bailey’s Bookstores by taking on a few of
my books. I do find that Bailey’s
sells more of the catalogue.

I am
really excited about this book. Lots of
Funk lines, both pizzicato and slap & pop with some double thumbing,
double popping, and an adequate amount of theory in terms of learning
how to create funk bass lines.

HOT TO TOUCH CD
I'm having two more amazing
instruments built for me by the fantastic craftsman of fine basses,
Ron Blake. One is a 5 string with a
high C string and the other a 4 string with a P J configuration.
The woods, the feel, the sound, can't wait till they're done
.
A
recent book of mine, the Total
Jazz Bassist, which I co-authored with good friend
Tim Ferguson, is doing very well. Recently there was a great
review of the book in a Bass Guitar Magazine and it has been well
received by other publications. Thanks for checking the book out
and keep the emails coming.
