My newest book , “Right Hand Drive” is finally complete and available via CDBaby!

It is a book focusing on technique expansion and harmonic awareness including tons of examples, transcriptions, licks and grooves.

 

You’ll also get an MP3 CD with over 100 audio examples of everything in the book at multiple tempos.

This book is intended for anyone wishing to push themselves rhythmically, develop there right hand technique and expand their abilities when it comes to walking and soloing.  Complete with chord shapes, charts explaining what scales work over what chord types, tons of rhythmic exercises, tons of grooves from my newest CD, “So To Speak” and licks…  This book is, in essence, my complete methodology for playing my bass.

Enjoy!!

Where to buy the book

I’ve decided to start offering private and personalized video lessons to interested players.. Partially meant to help some folks and be used as an addendum to my instructional booklet, but also as a means of connecting with other players around the world that I just physically can’t connect with in person. While I’ve done some teaching via Skype, it seems a tad clunky to me. I believe that this may be the answer! I am also always happy to follow up with further lessons of course, or answer any questinos via email or the social networking site of your choice…
Here’s the skinny:

- you give me a rough sketch (as detailed as you care to be) of the topics you’d like me to cover

- I’ll make an hour or longer video covering the topics

- in addition to a password protected streaming video of the lesson on my website I will also send a link to download the video to your computer for your own keeping and reference.

- pricing:
$75 via paypal or check for the streaming/full download option

$80 for the streaming video + a cd-r mailed to you via snail-mail.
