Music I’m listening to
I can’t believe how long it’s been since I wrote something on the blog. It seems like social networking has taken all that content into its tornadic funnel. I just wanted to note that I’ve been working on a YouTube playlist that helps you use a Behringer MOTÖR 49 or …
This post is mainly aimed at my bass playing friends but also other types of musicians might enjoy it. I just got through reading the latest revision of Ted Gould‘s book and felt compelled to share this review. With his new book (iTunes link), Ted skillfully bridges the gap between the …
