It’s one thing to be great at your craft but teaching skills are a totally different skill. It’s great news for all of us your both. Although this is such a basic thing to know the way you explained it I’ve never seen before. Donation gladly on it’s way.

No, the term inversions is usually used for describing the order of a chords notes, ie take a C major triad 1 (root), 3( third), 5 (fifth).
1, 3 , 5 is root position (try and play as an arpeggio)
3, 5, 1 is first inversion
5, 1, 3 is second inversion

Thank you for sharing this information. I can see how this will allow me to traverse the fretboard. Will it be available in a downloadable format?

Thanks for the great lesson!! Learning the fret board and notes can be quite a challenge at times without good examples. You made it simpler and much more practical.

: Hey Marlowe, I bought the L253 in order toget the backing track. However, there is no backing track without the bass. Is there a way to get this?
: Thanks Marlowe! I guess I better start saving up. I can't wait to get one. I'm positive if I get one then my playing automatically gets funkier right? 
: Hank: my sig bass will be presented at the Frankfurt musik messe in march. I dont know of the price but i guess it will be priced in the same range as Sandbergs California models. There is a couple of american retailers, check Sandbergs site.
: Hi guys!
: hi, GospelBassMan
: Hello community!!
: Will your bass be mass produced? Do you think it will be affordable (relatively speaking) Will it be offered online for us Americans that wanna buy it?
: Thank you very much.
