Excited to announce a HUGE career milestone…my new bass book/DVD published by Hal Leonard!! I grew up learning piano and trumpet from Hal Leonard books all through grade school so this is still absolutely surreal to me. “ADVANCED ROCK BASS” is out NOW and you can order at the link below. Shipping to anywhere in the world!

-Book includes 75 minutes of video instruction, 70+ exercises, and 10 play-along tracks with all content written for 4-string bass.
-This is a complete guide to my approach when composing basslines. I focus on every single aspect imaginable: chord analysis, fretboard mapping, composing lines with harmonics and tapping, voicing chords, mixing different techniques together, and an entire chapter on my personal philosophy for the role of the bass in modern rock/metal music. This particular chapter uses 10 bass-less tracks where I go track-by-track and demonstrate different ideas over each and talk about what to listen for, what aspects of the other instruments to latch onto, how to combine a guitar and drum part to form a bassline, creating independent lines with their own melody, what elements of a chord to play around, and so much more. It’s my complete “A-Z” approach!
