Jammit is a musical isolator, which silences other instruments, so you can concentrate on learning the specific instrument you choose. You can record your own lines on top, and it also transfers everything to notation or tab, which you can slow down as the song is playing! Check the video for my review….
Not Just another Bass tuition Book!

They are a small archive of the things and ideas that have helped me become the Bass player I am today. A little insight into my way of doing things, if you will.
All those people that have asked me how I use the techniques used in my solo bass guitar songs have the information right here. The questions are answered.
Why “Not just another Bass guitar book”? Well, there are plenty of books out there that teach you how to play music, and a Bass, theoretically. Although these books are important (and I’d still recommend them!) they are quite lifeless, and seem to lack practical ideas. A lot are just repeated content from another book that was written the year before. Copy and paste tuition. This is more a book of practical ideas, and therefore not just another Bass guitar book.
So, You might call it a book of notes and ideas. Hopefully, something positive for everyone of all standards.
