I submitted an article into the "Reader Submission" section to Bass Musician Magazine, and found out today that it was published. Give it a read; it's not so much bass-specific.

I liked the article but I'm still on the fence about the facial hair. :erm:

Just kidding man, good job. :thumb:

Raises a good point. Though, a dangerous point if it has burrowed into the mind of guitar players.

"I DON'T TRUST TUNERS, THEY'RE ALWAYS WRONG"

I know, it is a polarizing subject which is half the problem. Both a tuner and your ears really need to work together in order to really stay in tune.

Great article: I am not a big tuner person and they can teach people not to use their ears. This is especially true when playing with groups.

Good to see you got your site included in the submission. Gotta cover those basses (www.instantrimshot.com), dude.

The article was a good reason to contact all of the Artist Reps that I either currently deal with or some new ones as well. It's doing its work, that's for sure.

Thought I'd post a quick update to let you know that after a little more talking with the editor, I'm now a staff writer for Bass Musician Magazine. So, there will hopefully be more articles being posted in the future.

Everyone should learn to play the trombone. Then they would know exactly what you're talking about.

It's a pretty good article, the subject never goes out of season and actually, I can't remember if I have EVER read it in a magazine? Wow. :cool:

For the folks that are curious, the October issue of BMM just went online. My article, "Learn the Skills, Not the Licks" made it on the cover.
