Hello and thanks for checking in. It’s been awhile since I last had the chance to update the site. Here is what is going on:

You can now buy any of the tunes off of my 2 Hot to Touch CD from Amazon.com. You can purchase any of the tunes individually or purchase the entire CD.
My latest book, the “Total Jazz Bassist”, which I co-authored with good friend Tim Ferguson, is doing very well. Months ago it had a good write up in a Bass Guitar Magazine issue and have read good reviews on many sites. Thanks for checking the book out and keep the emails coming.

I have been working on and have just completed a new book titled “Total Funk Bassist”. This is a book I’ve been wanting to do for a long time and am excited about its release. There are a lot of great funk lines in it on a variety of levels. In early April the book should be going to press as I record the soundtrack for the book. I’m told the book will be out in early summer.

I have joined the band “The Shakes” which plays some great funk and rock tunes. The band consists of guitar, bass, drums, keys, and female lead vocalist and is about hard driving grooves. We play mostly in the CT area. Come check it out if you want to get loose and funky as well as rock the house. To learn more about The Shakes go to www.theshakes.net

I’ve started a jazz-fusion fusion project with some guys whom are good friends and great players. We’ve been writing and will soon be recording and gigging. I’ll keep you posted on this. The group consists of Brian Leary on Keys, Jason Squinobal on alto sax, bass clarinet and flute and Adrian Delgado on drums and percussion. We’ve been concentrating on writing material and haven’t yet named the group but I’ll let you know when we start to gig.

 

The summer is not far away and I’m looking forward to teaching bass seminars for the National Guitar Workshop. You can find the dates of my seminars below. For more details and specific locations go to the Seminars Page. Stu Hamm will be the artist in residence for the Rock Bass : From Classic to Modern bass seminar I will be teaching in Los Angeles.

Check out my "Theory and Techniques Used On Modern Electric Bass " forum on Talkbass.com. Log onto the forum and ask any questions you may have pertaining to electric bass playing. Here is the link to the forum.
