Guest teacher profile: Nicholas Mason

I am a bassist from the south of England. I been playing for 7 or so years, and teaching privately for the last year. I enjoy experimenting with new techniqiues and trying to coax new sounds out of the bass. My general playing style largely incorperates fingerstyle with plenty of harmonics, tapping and chords. In particular, I love creating the illusion of more than one instrument playing, with a solo bass line. I have just recently started doing youtube videos and hope that you get something out of my clips and tutorials.

MarloweDK: To Gospelwarrior: Check my Px4d settings here

MarloweDK: To Nix:As you probably can hear, im not getting it always either:-) Try tapping on a table and transfer that to the bass - and practice makes better, dont expect everything to be mastered after 1 hour/day/month/year;-)

Nix: Hi Marlowe, i'm working on the latest lesson L302 but i'm just not getting that the typewriter tapping part. Do you have any advise. Anyway, love your site and all your doing for the community. Peace :D
