The Basses of BASS GUITAR DVD #1. Over 2.5 Jam Packed Hours! About the Actor Musician, Educator and Author Mark John Sternal began teaching his trademark method to private guitar students in 1991. He was only 17, with one year left of High School before he would attend Richard Daley College in Chicago. By 1994 Mark relocated to Florida, and with him came the manuscript of his first book. The piece was titled Total Scales Techniques and Applications, which Mark sold to his private students. One afternoon a student's friend came into the music store where Mark was teaching. He explained that he had seen the manuscript and wanted to purchase one for himself. This transaction sparked the idea to put the manuscript up for sale online. The manuscript sold so well that Mark was able to quit his 'other job' as a student loan consultant, and pursue music full time. By 2002, fueled by user feedback and testimonials, Mark's growing number of music instruction titles awarded him national recognition. In 2004 his proven methods became available to the retail music industry. For most of 2006 and all of 2007 MJS held the #1 best selling music instruction slot at some of the largest music and book stores in the United States. In March 2008 MJS Music & Entertainment introduces Mark's GUITAR DVD #1 Beginner Basics & Beyond. October 2008 introduced the BASS GUITAR DVD #1 Beginner Basics & Beyond. Other titles include: Easy Guitar Chords DVD Easy Guitar Scales DVD GAMERS TO PLAYERS Guitar DVD Documentary and the #1 best selling series Total Scales Techniques and Applications.

Great for the beginner!
We ordered this for our 13 year old son. He watches this every day. It has helped him get started, but was very limiting. An individual experiencing autisim has very black and white concrete thinking. It has taken several weeks now to convince him to go beyond what is in the video. He uses a Hal Leonard beginning bass book. That has helped even more. Bottomline is that the DVD was able to get us started. We are happy with that.

Good DVD if you have some experience.
Although Mark goes through the basics of music fundamentals, I think it would be very difficult for a total zero to understand quickly. I'm enjoying these lessons, but not coming along as fast as I would like. I must admit though, I haven't practiced like I should, either. When I lost my first copy, I had no desire to look for something else. Now that it's here, It's like reacquainting myself with an old friend. I'm back at the earlier lessons, but thrilled to be here, and using other books, too. Wish me good skills in good time!

Play in one minute.....SERIOUSLY?!?
I started out this dvd waiting to be impressed and was very disappointed. Dude, plucking one string can hardly be called "playing" - it does not constitute a warm-up or even tuning your bass. Your claim should have been if I can teach you how to play a note in under one minute then you can learn to play the bass. I had already begun my path to learning to play the bass so this point was moot to me. I bought this dvd to round out some of my other lessons but after viewing the first fifteen minutes of the dvd, I took it out of my player and decided it was a waste of my money. For those of you who aspire to be good bass players, try something like eMedia's Bass Method. It is a little more expensive but well worth it.

GOOD BASIC VIDEO WITH ADVANCED STUFF TOO
This video does a great job of laying a foundation for playing the bass. The inclusion of bass clef musical note instruction is appreciated. The real basics of music theory are also covered NOT ad nauseum, so I was not put off by it since I am a trained musician and can read music. I just did not know how to play the bass guitar. IT IS better than I expected and I will be using it repeatedly until I GET it all. LOOKING FOR THE EASIEST HARMONICA LESSON ON CD? Mine is the one. Email me and ask about my one hour and you can play.....Harmonica CD. [email protected]
