Ok, i’ll explain my reasons for doing these new lessons.

Excuse me if I waffle.

A lot of people like the new exercise structure, and a lot of people don’t. Some people like me to talk, and some don’t.

It wasn’t a professional choice, but one of necessity. Here are a few reasons below:

- I don’t have much time at the moment. Doing these “quicker” vids, is easier, because I just plug in my Korg, jam, show, and it’s done! If i’m speaking, I need to unplug Korg, plug in amp, mess with settings, yadayada. This just means I can do a lot more lessons.

- I have passed the “beginner” part of my online tuition. I feel i’ve chucked a lot of good information out to get people on their way (a lesson on tuning, and alternate tunings will still arrive, though). I HAD to speak when I did the beginner lessons. I had to, to teach. I don’t need to so much, anymore. But…people need to be aware that all people are at different levels in their growth. Some people may need me to speak. Some not.

For that reason, I WILL do lessons in the future where I talk. I’ll need to.

- I’m now a guest teacher on MarloweDK’s site, and I felt I needed to “up my game” if I was going to host my vids on his site. It wouldn’t be fair on him, or his regular visitors if my videos were of a lower quality.

- I feel i’ve come far with these lessons. From where I had a crappy camera, amp and bass, and just talked and taught. I’ve learnt a lot about myself and teaching. It’s been great, and I thank those that have supported my efforts from the start (you know who you are). But now is time to move on.

Expect many more of these new and shorter lessons. Many more. We’re moving on…

Hope that clears some things up, and I hope you guys enjoy what I’ve got in store in the future.

It goes much further than learning bass with me. I’m giving people an opportunity to get involved in music my friends (some very talented musicians) and I are creating, and even earn some cash in the process.

The future looks good…
