Laser Practicing - Success Principles for Musicians
The principals of success are the same in all fields of endeavor. Whether in music, finance, marriage, physical health, politics, sports, business, etc., there are common guidelines that when followed result in the reaching of one's goals.
These principals are easy to identify. They are cited in many books and seminars. They are never changing and have been taught for ages.
The challenge, of course, is in living by these rules. Successful people do not like doing the work any more than unsuccessful people do, they are just willing to pay the price now for future rewards.

Bass Parts Vol. 1
Reading
Bass Parts is a new series
designed to make practicing fun.
Each
volume is a combination reading book / play-along CD. On
the CD you will hear each song twice. The first time you
can read along. The second time the bass is muted so you
can play the written part or improvise your own line. This
series is quickly becoming a big success in my teaching.
Featured on this recording is Joe Hunt - drums, Dino Govoni-
saxophone, and Lionel Loueke - guitar.
