A Missing Section on Snow

ZOOMAR — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 06:36:28 GMT

Hey Dman! I love this song but in your instructional videos you didn't cover the notes played from 0:49 to 1:10. It seems as if they are the same chords but its hard to make out the small differences in the way you played them. Could you please point them out for me? Thanks!

here's a good bass only tune for us of a certain age: Fever by Elvis Presley. This was shamelessly stolen from elsewhere on the net the timing is kinda funky but if you listen to the song enough times you'll get it.

I'm a beginner and I'm struggling with.....

phil — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 15:23:08 GMT

Free free to post your novice issue's here, lets start with my current problem... I'm a beginner and I'm struggling with walking my right hand, i presumed when I took on this enjoyable challenge the difficultly would be remembering fret positions of my left hand (I'm right handed) which I can do..not remarkably, but better than i expected as long as i strum the notes out with my index finger. Ok the d'man says in his walking excersise 'practice for years' (which i shall) but i find all timing ...

SOTW #1: Crosstown Traffic by Jimi Hendrix!

Smaz — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 18:56:54 GMT

A classic tune, by one of the most famous guitar players. Noel Redding plays bass on this one, there are a couple of ways it could be played - it's down to personal preference (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0aMB_hnoIc) I won't post any tabs, as I'd recommend trying to learn this by ear - it's not too difficult. It starts in C, which is either the 3rd fret A string, or the 8th fret E string. Give it a go, and have fun learning it! Any questions, just ask

major scale excercises

phil — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 00:36:38 GMT

da man aint called d'man fer no reason, however, here is a good site for scale excercises. its all a bit cyber, i prefer the human approach of this site (and hope i'm not in trouble for promoting other sites, which i doubt but should probably buy d'man a pint anyway) but i think (in my 5 week bass wisdom) it's a good tool. run the cursor over the tabs and fingering is shown. http://www.studybass.com/lessons/bass-scales/one-octave-major-scale/exercises/

Slap Staminia exercise

danthewelshy — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:40:13 GMT

Hey all Just made a quick exerice this morning as I was looking to get my slap staminia back into shape, so I though I would share with Dmans forum so others could maybe benefit from it aswell. Of course to get the best out of this play it at a tempo you feel happy with where every not is clear and it doesn't sound rushed. Also play it for a few minutes so you feel your hand starting to tire.

Killing in the Name - RATM

mistawac — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 03:02:20 GMT

So I really want my first full song known (other than Seven Nation Army [ Thanks Dman]) to be this song. I've always liked this song a ton. I would prefer it be Sleep Now in the Fire, but that's just too damn fast for me. So I got these tabs: http://www.bassmasta.net/r/rage_against_the_machine/158386.html and don't know what the 'h' means. Can anyone clear that up? I can't really progress until I know what the h is for..
