I wish lessons like this had been around when I started (hundreds of years ago). Easily digestible and explained in an articulate and easy to understand presentation. Keith is a tasty player and good teacher. There’s hundreds of bass channels out there but this one deserves a lot more widespread recognition.

[@academyofbass]

So kind of you John. Glad you enjoyed the lesson.

[@MrSparks54]

Hundreds of years ago eh? You and me both! 😄

@keith has by far simplified the idea of soloing. I have not seen a better video on the subject. Thank you so much for the insight! It has changed the way I approach the entire instrument! Big ups!
