Chris Squire: Instructional Bass

Squire is my favorite bass player so I enjoyed listening to him explain his techniques, tell the history of his basses', playing several, and just his discussion of bass playing and music in general. However this is not a lesson on how to play bass guitar. He does give a few tips. Overall I'm glad I got this.

The man has departed this earth, so this DVD is very valuable. Many interesting tips are buried within, eg when playing a 5-string, Chris has the lowest string tuned to A, not B. This actually works very well in practice. I bought the new Ric 4003S/5 5 string bass: great new design, so I was very keen to learn Chris' techniques. I am still learning a lot from this DVD.

Chris talks about his playing style...shares a few secrets of how he gets certain sounds......but doesn't go into his effects or amps. He shows his various basses and talks alittle about each. Much of what he says is all general knowledge to Yes fans...and is available on the websie.I wish he would have showed his gear and how he uses it all......Especially the effects.....His own website shows his gear....but there is no futher explanation of how he uses it and why he chose certain items.For the Yes fan......this is a treat

FANTASTIC WE NEED A GEDDY INSTRUCTIONAL DVD!!!

THank you. Great product.
