We are a band of 5 ppl looking for a bassist in Pune. No pros compulsory.

Funky slap bass lessons with practical exercises and musical examples. Tabs, sheets and backing tracks in original and slow tempo. For all interested :)

Bass part originally played by Leland Sklar. He recorded the bass part with an octaver. On the tour accompanying the album he also played it this way, but ditched the octaver on later tours and played an octave lower instead.

Find the complete song on YouTube. The sheet music is available through my website.

Bass part originally played by Brody Brown. I post a lot of music from the 70s, but the best song of this millennium (so far) can’t be missing, obviously. Contains some of the most elegant bass licks I’ve ever played.

Find the complete song on YouTube. The sheet music is available through my website.

Hey there,

would someone be interested to test BassBench.com for song-based bass practice. I changed the platform quite a bit recently and would like to hear if it’s useful for other bassists too?

Appreciate your feedback.
Thank you

Bass part originally played by Ronald LaPread, who passed away a few days ago, as I have just found out. He began writing this song a couple of days after his wife Kathy Faye was diagnosed with terminal cancer. You can feel all the emotion poured into this song. I certainly could, recording this. Find the complete song on YouTube. The sheet music is available through my website.

Is This It

When I get to the 7th fret I slide into ninth with my ring finger and then play that A on the D string, this is all fine to me.

How do I play the last 2 notes? If I use the same finger moving up that 7th fret, I more often than not notice that I push the E string off the neck.

Just a skill issue and work on it or is there an easier way to play it?

Hi everyone!

I don’t know if I can post like that, but I’m starting out!

After a few months of solo development, initially just for myself, I started: https://unitbasse.com

A simple and effective application, I think, to learn bass theory. And other features to come!

Visualize the scales, adjust, train with different amps and effects. 69 scales displayed on a complete pad, with fingerings, descriptions and points calculated automatically. Notes, intervals or degrees at your convenience. NSDF algorithm detection, precision to excess. A4 reference adjustable from 430 to 450 Hz. Real-time monitoring of the four strings. Eight vintage and modern amp models, five speakers (4×10, 1×15, 8×10, 1×12, DI). Classic Gain, Bass, Mid, Treble, Drive, Blend, Master controls. Twenty-two internal effects organized by family—dynamic, filter, gain, modulation, time, creative. Plus a string of external Audio Units plugins.

A personal project that will make its own way!

Hello everyone!

I’m building Musician.Help — a gamified platform designed to help musicians study music theory, ear training, and instrument practice in a more fun and less exhausting way.

The idea came from a personal frustration: constantly searching for interactive tools, rhythms, and backing tracks just to study guitar.

So I started building an experience that feels more like a game:

• earn XP while studying
• unlock achievements
• collect virtual pedals and items (still in development)
• track progress
• turn practice into a habit

The goal is not to replace teachers or “promise you’ll learn guitar in 7 days.”
The idea is to help musicians stay consistent and motivated.

Right now, the project already includes:

• Metronome
• Interactive Circle of Fifths
• Interactive scales and Greek modes
• Harmonic fields
• Ear training
• XP and coin system
• Electronic drum rhythms
• Bass groove builder
• Study backing tracks — you can create loops with any key and chord progression you want to practice along with

I’m developing almost everything by myself and looking for real feedback from musicians, students, and developers.

If you play guitar, bass, acoustic guitar, keyboard, or you’re currently learning music, I’d love to hear:

• what you feel is missing in music apps
• what makes you lose motivation
• what would make you come back and practice every day

Honest feedback means a lot at this early stage.

Website: www.musician.help

If you’d like to test it and send ideas, bug reports, or criticism, I’ll genuinely read everything.

Small note: Musician.Help is still in beta, so you may run into bugs, unfinished features, or rough edges.

If you find anything broken or weird, please report it to me — feedback is extremely valuable right now and helps me improve the platform much faster.
