Welcome to PlayBassNow.com


This is the “official” site for me – bassplayer/musicteacher Thomas Risell aka marloweDK best known by the internet public from my YouTube bass videos .

But im not the only one here giving lessons, you can enjoy the lessons of many talented guest teachers too:-)

This site will host video tutorials, selected sheetmusic/ tab, articles and advice by me or guest teachers on how to learn and develop electric bass playing, ranging from beginner to fairly advanced topics.

I hope you’ll enjoy the lessons, ideas, videos provided.

Feel free to comment on the individual videos, i’ll try my best to answer questions you might have.

Also some general advice/thoughts on practicing, links to bass/music related websites, recommendation of books, learning material, how to sign up for live video chat lessons and other stuff…

This IS a labor of love , everything is FREE, so you’re more than welcome to support this site with a small donation – top left button labeled”Donate” wants to be tickled;-)

And I’ll even send you detailed written transcriptions of many videos in standard notation and Tab if you donate more than 10 $

Alternatively, if you wish to purchase some of my recommendations please do it through the links given (I only recommend what ive used and checked out personally)

DISCLAIMER!
All the material on PlayBassNow.com – videos, original transcriptions etc are owned by the author or
guest teachers of Playbassnow.com and can ONLY be used for educational purposes and inspiration.

PS I would recommend that you register – some content will only be available to members

MarloweDK: Just checked , the link works fine. When you copy/paste, always check that you copy the whole link

Funkatron: Hey marlowe, i received my awesome donation gifts, thanks. But the link to the transcripts isn't working. The videos downloaded perfectly, however. Keep it funky.

adivin: Yes, it was in the spam folder. Thanks!

MarloweDK: Adidvin: Mail sent yesterday close to midnight to adivin3@cox.net, check spam folders., mail did not bounce so you should have it.

adivin: Just a heads up Thomas, I donated yesterday but have not received an email from you yet. Thanks.

sulfur: Hi, marlow. I just discover. The Site. and tried one lesson. you very good and clear.However, Watching video takes long tome. I'm interested in downloading the "300-$20). But I don't have credit card. Is it possible to use Money Transfer by Western Union? to download these videos?

Jake Martin: It's good to see such an awsome bassist teach so freely. Many people don't realize how rare that is. I'm Jake, and I've been playing for 7 months now and your videos have helped me alot. I do have one question, can you go over the modes and improvisation. I know the modes, I just don't know how to apply them. Thanx

MarloweDK: The strings are new on this one, thats helps a LOT

macdaddy: To be specific, #4, the beginner slap bass lesson. I can't get that crisp, "chink", edge, especially on the plucked notes, no matter what I do.

MarloweDK: Name an example video of mine
