Correct me if im wrong, but Better Help has been known to take advantage of their already vulnerable customers and provide little to no actual assistance and "therapists" who charge and who aren't even certified. A lot of other people have pulled out their better help ads and for good reason, and I think that you should look into that. Loved the song by the way!

Yeah that's a great place to start and works vice versa too. If you're stuck writing a bass line to go with a drum groove, start by playing notes with the kick, then add / subtract from there!

Honestly I could listen to, and buy a whole album of this. I'm a huge fan of progressive metal/death metal, and I think a bass forword/focused project from you would be so cool. Also the songs wouldn't have to be so short cause it wouldn't be a KZfaq video. 😂 Cheers! 🇨🇦

I've been following you regularly for about a year or so now Charles, and I just gotta say as amazing as you are on the bass, I think your overall musicianship and song writing is just as good, of not even better. I've been checking out your tunes on Spotify, and it really is some of the best bass feature instrumental stuff there is, as far as your arrangements and melodies and whatnot. In those aspects I'd seriously put your stuff right up there with the solo stuff from Victor Wooten, Stu Hamm, or any of the other big names who do this kind of stuff. And on a side note, your videos have made chuckle more than once too, so overall keep doing what you're doing!
