I tried to compress the entire 3 week Lament Bass masterclass that we did here into a single lesson - here's the result!

I'm attaching some tabs and charts too for those interested. And a huge thank you to Paul, Aaron, and Mirko for letting me use their music for this video!

LIVE STREAMS RETURN

This Friday (Nov 14th) I'll be doing an evening livestream around 6 or 7PM CT. I'm debating what topic to discuss/create, so I'd love some of your suggestions here in this thread for what you'd like to see!

COURSE UPGRADES

I don't want to share too much right now, but I am in the process of upgrading my current courses to enhance their overall usability. This is a huge project, but it means that in the future, my site will be able to handle all the tools and features that I want my students to have.

REAL RHYTHM GUITAR LEVEL 2

I wanted this done by the fall, but the big site-changes I'm working on have pushed this off a bit. I expect it to be completed by the end of the year though, and it should look/work nicer than the current format.

NEXT YEAR - MORE MASTERCLASSES

This year we did two masterclasses: One on Lament Bass, and one on Modal Mixture. Next year I'd like to continue these kind of programs and at least do two but hopefully more. Again, if you have special requests, please add them below :)

Thanks a billion and I hope you enjoy this lesson, even if you worked through the lament bass class!
