    I agree, with all the crazy bassists here some lessons would be awesome. There are a few text lessons on rockabillybass for basic stuff like root 5th on the first and third beat kind of thing but thats more or less it.

    What about getting like a youtube channel going where members can post lessons and they would all be in a group called art of slap bass or something and have even basic lessons on like different slap techniques, theory, different basslines that are commonly played on upright, more or less actual bass lessons but geared specifically for upright.

    I would definitly help out with it as I have wanted sometihng like that for a long time although not nearly good enough to give lessons to anyone but any other help needed I would be willing.

    Did you get the strings? I know they were going through an owner/management change or whatever and were really delayed when I ordered mine but still got them reasonably fast.

    You will slap up a storm going from steels to those.

    I watched a bunch of ken steiners live videos of him playing and sounds really good, not bashing the guy or anything. Just from the people I have heard talking about it most dont like all the arm movements in his instructional videos.

    Most people from what I have read dont speak too highly of those videos, especially the really wide arm motions which are apparently bad for your rotator cuff or something.

    The ones I have seen recommended a lot are the scott hinds videos, not sure what the address for his site is anymore but if you google should be easy to find.

    I found the ken steiner ones helpfull at first until I found the scott hinds ones. also memphisevil has an awesome video showing drag triplets.
