Using ‘The Chicken’ to get some respect at your local music store…
Cool little video for you today.
If you’ve ever been to your local music store to test out a bass (or anywhere for that matter where you have a small audience) and your mind started drawing blanks for any cool grooves you could play on the spot…
…Here’s a nifty little jam that might be able to pull you out of a tight spot 🙂
It’s simple to learn, easy to put your own spin to, and if you pull if off right will certainly get you some dog-gone RESPECT from onlookers because it’s just so darn HIP… LOL
Hope you enjoy it.
Peace and chicken grease,
Alex
PS. The fretboard formula is about to return with a very cool surprise twist…
PPS. Please leave a quick comment below if you’re hip to the video, or I may have to talk smack about you to anyone who will listen 🙂

Mini Lesson #2: Christian Rock Bass Solo
Enjoy!
PS. Hit me with comments if you wanna continue the mini lessons. I need to hear from ya!
1/16th note ‘rock’ bass solo… :-)
Ok… In today’s mini-lesson we’ll quickly go over a bass solo from a Christian rock styled song…
This is something a customer specifically wrote in asking for me to cover and he was nice about his asking :-). Whether you play ‘Christian Rock’ or not, you should give this a shot and see how how your 1/16th-note-string-crossing technique is 🙂
SideNote: In case you’re wondering, the “1/16th note” reference is to the ORIGINAL version of the song that has a different drum groove to what I used in the video.
Enjoy!
