I’ll keep this short… I know there’s one BIG question on everyone’s mind right now…
“Alex, where’s The Fretboard Formula?”
…Folks are chomping at the bit to get their hands on my latest project (tons of preorder requests!) and I’m super thankful for all your understanding, support, kind words and patience despite the fact that I had to delay the original August 27 launch day.
Well as I’m typing this we have one more hold up as I am wanting to;
1. Produce more copies of the course to match the demand we’re anticipating and,
2. Give everyone an opportunity to get several little trailer ’sneak peeks’ of the course as we get set to go.
I hate having to ask you guys to wait any longer but all I can say is that;
1. You guys ROCK. You really are a great bunch! (But then again we are BASS PLAYERS!! 
and
2. We’re getting close 
Keep your eyes on this blog… This is the hot-spot for info. It’s getting to be crunch time and things are beginning to heat up…
More samples on the way and some great surprises too!
- Alex

I’ve got some bad news…
As you can see I’m sitting in my Dr. Evil armchair, and it kinda looks like I’m about to deliver an internationally ‘broadcasted’
‘I’m-about-to-destroy-the-world-with-my-gigantic-death-ray-laser-beam-if-all-the-world’s-leaders-don’t-suck-it-up-pool-their-resources-and-pay-my-$5,000-ransom’ speech.
Yup - That would be bad news… I mean good grief… Where are world leaders gonna find 5,000 spare dollars??
Anyhow that’s not the bad news I got for ya… At least not today
It’s about something else.

Ok - I can’t tell you how many requests I’m been getting for this next video… (”Butt Kicking Bass Lines in 3 Simple Steps - Part 2″)
Seriously… Without trying to exaggerate we’ve had a literally FIRESTORM of requests for it because the first part seemed to really hit home with most everyone who watched it start to finish.

“BootLeg Productions” presents…
“A Day in the Studio with Slackers…”
*****
Hey yous guys gotta look at today’s video! It’s pretty cool
Why?
Because today I’m actually sneaking you into the recording studio with me so you can meet a few musicians and see what happens when guys who obviously have no idea what they are doing, choose not to do the common sense thing (like spending some time to rehearse) but jump right in the studio and hit the RECORD button

I’ve been searching for a 100%, totally unbiased way to describe today’s video and I’ve finally got it…
“It’s Bad” (By bad I of course mean super cool)
Don’t get me wrong…
It’s not the coolest thing since hair activator because of some real fancy-pants bass playing, but because as a teaching aid it finally distills the 1.93 bazillion (give or take) factors that make a great bass player, down into The 3 Most Powerful Levers you can use to crank up the overall awesomeness of your bass playing.

Hi guys just a quick update to let you all know I am in the middle of editing a brand new *killer* video for you!
As usual lots of detail included, lots of great value - I’m actually very proud of how this one is turning out because it will *really* break down the ‘behind-the-scenes’ thought process that goes into outstanding bass lines, (with lots of demonstrations) and I really believe that information like this is by and large sorely lacking for our community.
Stay tuned… I haven’t abandoned the blog, it’s just that I am really working hard on a lot of stuff for you and need to get it up to a level that I am comfortable with…
(Psst… I’m even editing a brand new ebook, and a boatload of great bonuses as well that’s gonna be available to you blog reader FREE OF CHARGE!) Trust me — this is all gonna be worth the wait!
Yup all of this AND working on a new product too…
When do I sleep you ask?
That’s a darn good question.
Stay cool and watch your step.
Alex

Ok I’m exhausted, I’m starved and in desperate need of a barber…
And here’s why.
I started off shooting the detailed breakdown for the ‘Take 5′ video, (see that original video here) and kinda figured it’d take about 15-20 mins tops…
So I locked myself in the studio with only enough food and water for 20 minutes and I promptly got to work. Click here to continue reading this post…
