Mark's workshop is open to bass players of all skill levels. Mark will begin with some bass basics - right and left hand technique, and guidelines for building your bass line, staying supportive while adding options for getting from one chord to the next to add variety and color. Then he will invite participants to ask one question each which he will briefly address so everyone gets a bit of what they individually need. We believe all will benefit from the variety of topics that your questions lead to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIf anyone wants to get a head start on the class they can download Mark's two Homespun bass instructional videos from Homespun. He will also have these DVDs at the workshop. These will provide a good follow-up reference after attending the class as well. We’ll cover a lot of ground so feel free to bring recording devices or note pads. Looking forward to digging in and having fun, too. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis workshop is appropriate for individuals 13 years and up\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z1SW1lQ_Cvc?si=xG3TwKSSCxDBJRUL\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mark Schatz","offers":[{"title":"In-person Workshop: Sunday August 9th from 12-1:30 pm Eastern","offer_id":50440459223233,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/0489\/files\/MarkSchatz.png?v=1785246970","url":"https:\/\/louisvillefolkschool.org\/products\/bass-workshop-with-mark-schatz","provider":"Louisville Folk School","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
