End Of Year Musings

Thunder Row has been a busy place in 2013, and I haven't had as much time to keep this blog up to date as I would have liked.  But we have kept everybody informed on important topics, and have always provided links to the Row; the invitation is still open to visit as often as you like.

I wanted to take a bit of time to review what we've accomplished.

We've featured some really outstanding musician interviews and album reviews.  Click HERE to see some of the bassists we've spoken to, and the albums we've given a spin!

Bernhard Lackner, Sean O'Bryan Smith, Antoine Fafard, Jeff Berlin, Zander Zon - these are just some of the names of musicians whose albums we've reviewed.  All good stuff, for sure.

Our exclusive game, "Skin DEEP" has seen some gorgeous basses highlighted.  Skin DEEP is a game of OUTER beauty, where we acknowledge the people who design how a bass will look.  When a bass catches your eye, it will always be because of first glances.  The look!  We plan to continue the game into 2014.  The rounds can be found in our OFF TOPIC area.  You have to be a member to vote, so sign up today!

Speaking of signing up, many new wise people have purchased Roy Vogt's Teach Me Bass Guitar and are well on their way to becoming skilled musicians.  Check out these posts of TMBG students showing off their skills.

There are more students making their way through the course - not everybody posts their progress in video or mp3, but they're still making their way up the ladder!

We've posted videos of some nice Christmas songs by our friends.



And I even dug out my fave Bass Christmas Poem for the holidays!

Now, let's talk about ROY VOGT'S BASS BOOT CAMP, coming up in 2014.  You have to own a copy of TMBG to get in on the action.  Buy yours today and book a slot! Hurry!  I think there are only 4 spots left!

We've also been doing some house-cleaning for the new year.  Organising, streamlining, re-arranging. We're trying to clean up some of the posts and articles that have become cluttered.  Most importantly, we've fixed a bunch of posts and lesson material that - for various reasons - had lost their attachments.  THIS is one of the areas that got a complete make-over.  There are other areas, but they are private and exclusive to TMBG owners ONLY (one of the benefits of owning the course!).  In 2014, we plan to continue the clean-up, so things are easier to find and use.

Stay tuned for more on Thunder Row!  2014 should be a great year!
