Course Description:
Alphonso Johnson is one of today's great bassists. Whether on stage with the Grateful Dead or in the studio with Weather Report, this graceful, swinging master of rhythm and melody is the epitome of the modern bass player. In this course he shares his insights about what makes a great bass player; what producers and artists look for in their rhythm sections; how to create a great bass part; how to fit into an arrangement, slapping and snapping, and much much more. This course is geared to the intermediate bassist with some knowledge of his instrument but it also includes information useful to pros and beginners alike. Whether your interest is, "What to look for when buying a bass," or "Syncopation / Playing Ahead of or Behind the Beat," do yourself a favor and launch your bass-playing up a level with Alfonso's great course.
