Hi Master you Have excelente ustudies and incredible Ideas I’m interesting in this estudios

[@arataka57]

You are great teacher man. When there are 2 tied eight notes in the middle of a group of four you make the two eight notes a quarter by selecting the first tied eight note and pressing a quarter from the keypad. That's grammatically more correct.

[@travelingman9763]

Great exercises to prepare for so improvization. The true test..play against any unknown tune and dont try to play licks. Post one bro. You must be scared! Lol

[@ShortFuseFighting]

guitarists have no idea how easy they have it . we gotta do all of this on bass with strings 100x the gauge, frets at twice the distance and only 4 strings (most of the time) at our disposal

[@angeloricci1026]

As a guitarist I can say you are right! And most of us use the pick ..

[@heatherperleberg7816]

OK!

[@AndrewJanusson]

no one cares

[@user-kk4kn1ue8u]

This 15 sec piece of performance at the beginning doesn't makes me want to trust this teacher. It was not beautiful and played unclear, with some ghost notes and a lack of dynamic
