Bass Theory: Berklee Documents

[Tryxx]

A 27 page packet that we were given at Bass Lines in our theory class. It contains a wealth of information, everything from groove, to ear training, to vamps and chords. There's almost certaintly something you can gain from it.

Some of the hand written pages are hard to read, but you should be able to make it out, I encourage you to go through the whole thing. It's quite cool.

It's a PDF file, so you'll need Acrobat Reader to open it.

Two downloads, in case one goes dead:

and

i still look through this every once in awhile

[Tryxx]

Likewise. It's quite cool, I just finally got around to scanning all of it. :p

EDIT: *Likes giving the lesson mod something to do.*

[Spaceman Spiff]

Wow. This is pretty neat to have.

[Led_Zeppelin678]

For some reason, I am unable to open any PDF. It really sucks at times like these.

[Soulfly666]

That's pretty useful, thanks. :thumb:

[Pluperfect_Arson]

That has a lot of useful stuff in it.

That'd be nice for something to look over every once-in-a-while if you were feeling that you were becoming a bit rusty and whatnot.

[Alma]

Wow, thanks for sharing!

[PaulR]

Cool. Cheers Tryxx.

[PaulSimonon]

For some reason I already have a copy of this right next to my computer in my stack of sheet music?


I wonder where I got that from?

[kilian]

I can't read notes.. :amaze:

Time to learn baby.

[Polyamarous]

Wow this would be easier to understand if I could read music.

[muthafunkabass]

Thanks tons Tryxx, this is great.

[ebe9]

Thanks man, great stuff.

Just hope you are not opening yourself up to copyright infringement.

[Polyamarous]

:lol:
It says at the bottom of every page "Copywright something Getz"
Or something.

[katana_manatee]

It says there is a cd or two with it. Any chance of doing an upload of it please Tryxx? Cheers for posting the stuff, some good stuff in there.

[Worrpigs]

justin, i love you man. thanks a ton!:thumb:

[Akira]

Pretty cool.

[roee_co]

If I had it I would, sadly we didn't get it. :( In class he just played excerpts of it and played along.

But yes, it's from Bruce Gertz, he was our teacher. I figured since the copyright was down there it was fine.

Oh well. Strictly speaking the cd is not necessary it is only useful if you find it tricky to read some rhythms but a program like guitar pro or powertab would suffice. Thanks for putting it up, it condenses a lot of the information I have been getting in college into a small size.

As for copyright, don't worry about it, Berklee isn't exactly gonna have people scouting the web to make sure no one is putting up their information. So don't worry about it.

[janyeno]

Great stuff.

Thanks man!

[Left Shoe]

besides i dont think bruce gertz would mind too much, he doesnt seem likesomeone who would, he was cool and laid back

[bottlerocket]

Yeah, I'm not going to Berklee this year. I flat out can't afford it.

[Thonk]

Thanks Justin.

Phil: :lol: Sweet...we'll go to a few local shows.

-Gav

You told me I had to because you're my MX-Father. It was sexcellent. :naughty:

No problem Cody. :thumb:

[bottlerocket]

That MX Dad joke goes way back to when you first joined here...:lol:

-Gav

[PaulSimonon]

I think during basslines Gav should take all of us to a local show....

[bottlerocket]

^ If you want...don't you have curfews?

-Gav

[Left Shoe]

at basslines? no

[bottlerocket]

^ That's awesome...I'll see if there are any good shows when we get closer.

I wish I was going. :(

-Gav

[PaulSimonon]

Psh, you don't need to go. You already have a reason to be in Boston... One of us will bring our old residential hall card, and you can probably stay there.

[Left Shoe]

you can grow out your hair and then use mine...maybe

[bottlerocket]

^ Just get the "R" thing and put it on mine...

Phil: Your hair grows curly. Mine goes straight...mine's at like my mouth now. :lol:

-Gav

[Tryxx]

Psh, you don't need to go. You already have a reason to be in Boston... One of us will bring our old residential hall card, and you can probably stay there.

I've still got mine. :cool:

[bottlerocket]

^ I do, too...my hair was short then...and gross. :lol:

-Gav

[PaulSimonon]

I've still got mine too...

Thumb over picture, let the "R" be visable. They never examined them closely, I mean, we were just going to our rooms.

[Left Shoe]

dude help i cant download it

What's the problem? If you can't open it, scroll down and get the file that has the bitmaps -OR- download Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you can't open .rar files go to download.com and get WinRAR.

[PaulSimonon]

My hair is different now too... I got it layered bitches. It's probably a bit longer than before? I dunno.


What kind of products do you all use?! :p

[bottlerocket]

dude help i cant download it

Copy/paste the links into the address bar and click "download now." It should work...

-Gav
