Essential Rock Grooves For Bass Intsructional DVD ft. Danny Morris

Essential Rock Grooves For Bass Intsructional DVD A Berklee Workshop instructional video ft. Bassist Danny Morris. Bassman Danny Morris explains and demonstrates the secrets of syncopation, rhythmic displacement, left-hand muting and much more. In great condition. Disc is excellent. Case has general shelf wear/scuffs. This DVD is Claryifying, Helpful, Inspiring. It is a brief but concise video where Mr. Morris demonstrates concepts that are important to a bass player no matter the type of music they play, and he does so simply and clearly so that the viewer gets insight into possibilities latent within each topic. Mr. Morris presents the concept first on bass without any other rhythm track, showing the chord progression or rhythmic idea. He is not showing off so you end up saying, 'wow, he's amazing' - although he is a wonderful bass player to hear and watch - but instead you get what he is talking about and showing and can carry it over to your own work. Mr. Morris then repeats the concept with a backing track, develops it and riffs on it a bit, then the dvd cuts to concert material to see the concept used in his performance. The method to this dvd is well-thought out and something I would watch repeatedly to get further nuances. Also, Mr. Morris' passion about his instrument and the players that inspire him is so palpable, you just want to get on your instrument the moment the dvd ends. Thanks for viewing :)
