You had to do Ode to Joy LOL. Of all the songs, you had to pick that one to do a tab course on. Yes I know it's an easy one to do a Tab course on, my point is of all the songs that are also easy to teach Tabs on (I know you too well, LOL) I figured you pick this song. Now that I have gotten that silliness out of the way, it was seriously still a great "How to read Tablature" learning lesson and still a good easy song to start on, despite not being the 1st song someone would think of in my opinion. As for me, as much as I can, I am trying to get away from reading tabs and back to reading notation as much as I can, but if all I find are tabs for a song so be it. The easier, the easier (whatever that means LOL). If this was course 5, I can't wait for what you have planned for Course 6 since you did not say what that was. Also whether you do a Live Stream today 9/8 or next week 9/15 based on your schedule on your usual Thursday at 7PM whatever you have planned, I'll see you then. Lastly, I'll get you separately, but if you are in town Sunday 9/18/2022, Which is a week from this Sunday, Sungazer (That is KZbin Bassist Adam Neely's Jazz Fusion Band) with the Band Wednesday Night Titans is playing at Terminal West in Atlanta and tickets are like $15 each if interested. I follow Adam Neely on KZbin and his Drummer is awesome too. So let me know. I'll probably go either way and as I said, I'll talk to you about it separately from here and see what your schedule is like for that evening. Until the next live stream or we talk about 9/18 or both; Cheers 😀

Hey Seth! My main reason for picking a classical piece, and in particular this one, is partially the simplicity of it, and partially because it is in the public domain in case I sell the written portion of the course in the future. I wish I could go, but I have a wedding on that particular night. If you go, please tell me how it is! Adam is one of my KZbin bass inspirations from over a decade ago when everyone was doing a bunch of 2 hand tapping arrangements. I still support him on Patreon.

@@stephencoxbass I know, just of all the classical public domain classical, I just know you too well LOL. As far as the Concert, I am sorry you can't make it. I know we saw Herbie at the Jazz Fest, but we need to find more concerts to go to or social time off of KZbin. With that said, I am definitely going, and I will take pictures if I can, as well as a short video if I can get away with it and post it somewhere where you can see it. If there is a chance to say hello to Adam while I am on that show or any of the other band members as it is such a small venue and all that, especially if they are doing what other bands do, standing around selling merch as an example not just hanging backstage, I will say hello to you and if I can, get you something signed. 😀

@@SethIzenzon Thank you! I actually ran into Adam Neely (and also Nitti...haha) at NAMM 2019. I chatted for a minute with him about his old tapping videos. Enjoy the show! I know it will be great!

Stephen Is There a Fully acoustic Ubass ? Thx !

[@stephencoxbass]

U-Basses aren't super loud due to how small they are and that they are projecting bass frequencies, so I believe most or maybe all of them have some form of electronics built in. If you are trying to get more volume out of an unplugged U-Bass, the metal round wound strings will project much better than the other varieties, and it may even be loud enough to jam with an ukulele player fairly comfortably. However, when I jammed this way from 6 feet apart with a guitar player who was strumming, he complained that he couldn't hear me that well although I could hear myself just fine. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
