Started learning music on a Farfisa home keyboard at the age of 10 and church organ, played only by reading the notes. But when I tried to play in a band and they told me to join in at a jam session, without notes at age 17, it was impossible for me to improvise. Same age I changed to bass, but only by listening to records and learned to play all by ear, never learned to play by notes. Now at the age of 55 it's hard work to read notes from the sheet and adopt it to my warrguitar...Never had a teacher on bass till now.

Please Teach us about complex chords and how to create tension using intervals and chords. In an easy way to explain. i love all your videos. You just know how to teach. PS love all the metal stuff.
