Hello and thanks for taking the time to stop by my website and to check into my bass world.  I have been busy writing for a project that I will be recording in the coming months.  A high energy record that will feature my trio along with a few guests, some long time friends of mine from the National Guitar Workshop.  I'm really looking forward to this record.  I'll keep you posted. 

Registration for bass seminars that I will be offering at the National Guitar Workshop next summer will begin in the coming weeks.  Description will be posted on my site soon.   Because I have spent much of my time writing for my record and ensemble charts for small and big large student bands that I am directing, I've held off on playing out for a couple of months but am very much looking forward to booking dates for my trio beginning in January.  I'll keep you posted on that as well.

Hope all is well with you.

Peace,
Dave

The book is 272 pages and is available from Amazon, Sheet Music Plus and all other places that my other ten bass publications are available through.

I hope the bass world is treating you all well. Till next time!!

My latest book, Total Funk Bassist has just been released and is available in all music stores as well as Amazon and many other bookstores. Border Books has followed Bailey’s Bookstores by taking on a few of my books.  I do find that Bailey’s sells more of the catalogue.

I am really excited about this book.  Lots of Funk lines, both pizzicato and slap & pop with some double thumbing, double popping, and an adequate amount of theory in terms of learning how to create funk bass lines. 

 

2 HOT TO TOUCH CD

you can now purchase any of the tunes off of my 2 Hot to Touch CD from Amazon.com. You can purchase tunes individually or get the entire CD.  

 

I'm having two more amazing instruments built for me by the fantastic craftsman of fine basses, Ron Blake.  One is a 5 string with a high C string and the other a 4 string with a P J configuration.  The woods, the feel, the sound, can't wait till they're done .

A recent book of mine, the Total Jazz Bassist, which I co-authored with good friend Tim Ferguson, is doing very well. Recently there was a great review of the book in a Bass Guitar Magazine and it has been well received by other publications. Thanks for checking the book out and keep the emails coming.
