My fellow bassists,

The time has come once again to determine the fate of this month's bass education. Let me know which of these topics you'd like to learn this month, and remember you can pick more than one and comment anything that isn't included in the list!

I picked finger style because I’m not sure the best place to put it but I think something that may be interesting is: When starting to learn a style or technique , how to also start integrating habits such as muting for a cleaner sound and not learn bad habits that cause you to have to relearn later.

Charles, in next month's poll, would you please include Soloing as a category? I'd really like some insight into how you write solos in a few genres, Blues, Funk, Rock, etc, maybe Pop and Dance/Electro. Maybe talk some theory and Bass specific soloing info and things to keep in mind for each genre, along with tab/sheets of some example solos we can use to get a feel for things. There's tons of guitar stuff out there and that can work sometimes, but often the advice I find doesnt have the right feel for a Bass player. Maybe you could recommend some of the videos you already posted here for things I can borrow for the time being?
