I’ve been an editor and board member for NoTreble.com over the last year. It’s been a great opportunity for me to continually polish my writing skills, meet some fantastic musicians, and put together lessons for both the upright bass and bass guitar. I have around 250 posts so far on the website (there was a time when I would write daily news twice a day). Here is a collection of some of my lessons and interviews:
