    Thanks for another great lesson, Matt! Interesting and quite a challenge, and as always clear and pedagogical. Just finished an hour with your paradiddles - perfect entertainment for a Friday night. /Eskil from Sweden

    This is great stuff. I find myself getting stuck in chord tone with chromatic approach note on beat 4 ruts... alot. This is really going to help in creating smooth ascending and descending lines. While I understand this is a mental exercise, I feel that one can create functional lines by perhaps making a rule that a chord tone is hit on beat one.

    Haha good eye. Yeah these are the Gerold Genssler J-Roque RW ("rainworms"). I had found a used set, and while I like the Corax I was using before, he doesn't make them anymore so I was looking for not only an alternative for the future, but something that had more punch than the Corax. These definitely are more punchy. The Corax has a MUCH wider "spread" of the low notes, but doesn't cut through. These D and G Rainworm strings literally make the floor move so that you can feel it in your feet. The E and A are not quite right, I think, but they're still new and I'm still figuring them out. They don't have the punch of the D and G. But I also noticed that my bridge may have been slightly off position when I last heard another bassist play my bass. The G is quite large, which I like, but it's large enough that it actually feels a bit strange so I'm getting used to that too. Do you hear a difference? Do you like one better than the other? I think the Corax RECORD better but the RWs sound better in real life

    I can never remember which mode is which... So I stick with arpegios and chromatisms, following along the melody.
