I've been working on this update for some time. I have developed a new, feature-rich quiz app for the #StudyBass #basslessons. In this blog post I talk about the role of testing in your musical development and the new quiz app.

We lost a true original. Aston "Family Man" Barrett introduced reggae and reggae bass to a wider world. Study him: chord tones, approach notes, melodic and rhythmic phrasing, feel, space, syncopation, and tone. https://t.co/aHizGZuKJU

@JimGrantJr That's awful. Sorry. I've seen other musicians deal with trigger finger. Doc mentioned steroid shots work half the time for it. He didn't mention the limit, but that makes sense. I hope never to find out.

I always post something motivating for New Year's Day. This year I have something a little different to tell you about. This is a chronicle of recovering from a broken hand.

New Lesson: Counting Off Songs
https://t.co/wQda6M7DVh
Counting off songs & following counts is a critical skill. Many do it poorly and some don’t understand it at all.
Video, songs and 8 new exercises. Some are quite challenging. Have fun!
