Hey, folks...
Dave LaRue's Tapping class starts Monday at MusicDojo, the online music school. It's an excellent class, and has been very well received. Here's the description:
This course is designed for the intermediate player who wishes to begin amassing a collection of usable tapping techniques and licks. Much of the material will be based loosely on techniques and patterns used by bassists such as Billy Sheehan, Stu Hamm, and Victor Wooten. Adam Nitti's Tapping 1 course is recommended, either before or along with this course. Some knowledge of theory and improvisation would be helpful, in order for you to extrapolate on the ideas that will be covered. Some of the topics include playing single string lines with various techniques, simple sequencer type lines moving to more complex lines, outlining harmony (chord shapes - we'll work on one of my tunes for this), slapping and tapping, and two hand independence (walking a blues and playing chords simultaneously).
Lesson 1: Single String Lines
Lesson 2: Using the Pentatonic Scale
Lesson 3: Four Note Groupings
Lesson 4: Sustained Chords
Lesson 5: Sequencer Type Lines
Lesson 6: Variations
Lesson 7: Extended 16th Note Groups
Lesson 8: More Complex, Moving Variations
Lesson 9: Triplet Patterns
Lesson 10: Triplet Variations, Ionized Solo
Lesson 11: Triplet Patterns with Chord Shapes
Lesson 12: More Exotic Chord Shapes (from an original tune)
Lesson 13: Extending the Line and the Progression
Lesson 14: Finishing the Progression
Lesson 15: Slap and Tap
Lesson 16: More Complex Slap and Tap Lines
Lesson 17: Walking Lines and Tapping
Lesson 18: Adding the IV Chord
Lesson 19: The Blues Progression, Simple Version
Lesson 20: The Blues Progression, Adding Complexity
Go to www.musicdojo.com to sign up for a free account and free five day intro class where you can take sample lessons from courses by Adam Nitti, Anthony Wellington, Joseph Patrick Moore, etc.
And I KNOW Dave would be glad to see you in class.
BTW...I believe he used a Bongo in his example recordings.
