Thanks Greg. You’ve given me a lot to practise and improve my fills. Cheers Ruth

Hey Greg, how about a breakdown of a whole Lotta shaking going on Jerry Lee Lewis? That would be cool.
-
Thank you Sir.
-
Clearly presented and worthwhile for me. Thank you, B
-
That was an excellent lesson, Greg! It has given me some great stuff to shed on. Also, I'd like to compliment you on your new Bass Masters membership. I am thoroughly enjoying the monthly challenges and the incredible supportive community that is growing there. I can absolutely see how this is going to push my playing forward. Thanks for all that you do for the bass community.

Wow, this really opened my eyes to a problem of transitioning to not be so blocked in. I dont think i will ever be that fast but i am already doing better than i ever expected because of you. Thank you again.
-
Great lesson! Can’t wait for the minor lesson!
-
Move up three frets and play the major pentatonic..... every day's a school day :-) Excellent!
-
Hi, for me the five shapes are 5 shapes in one position, with 2 notes per strings, and putting the five shapes together makes it easy to play on all the fretboard. The shapes are the same for minor or major, major is just 3 frets higher .
-
This is filling in some of the blanks I had from our lesson. Thanks for putting this together. Are the major and minor lessons going to be in the Studio section of your new platform?
-
Thanks, Greg. Just snagged your first 200 YT PDFs too - great value! Will you be releasing 201 - 250 soon?
