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 50 detailed written transcriptions of videos in standard notation and Tab if you donate more than 20 $
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)

: Hi MDK, Wow waht a great DVD... just spent a few hours learning the first few lessons... great quality and well taught... I'm very pleased with my purchase. If any improvment could be made I would only say could there be a 'repeat' funcion so that you can get a lick to play continually? or what aboutt a not showingthe BPM so that we can use the correct tempo using the drum patterns... overall a wonderful job... I look forward to more downloads in the future.... especially for IPad
