Nathan East is an amazing bass player but I'm sorry to say this DVD is just one big commercial for his products.
The interviews are really basic and hardly go into detail and the exercises he shows you are basic at best.
It just doesn't live up to the professional level of video that it's cracked up to be.
I honestly laughed during the interview he does with this blonde woman.
She obviously knows close to nothing
about music and the questions she asks are pretty lame.
The advertisement (oopse I mean interview) for his signature brand pre amp or whatever was also another comical highlight.
"So basically it's like having your fingers in a box right?"


don't buy this DVD

I've been playing bass for most of my life and have toured professionally for over ten years. I have researched and bought dvd after dvd, tons of books and every other instruction material I could find. I stumbled upon this video and I must say I've watched it several times. It's great instruction on how to be a good musician. If it were up to me this video would come with every new musical instrument sold. You won't find hours of licks and slapping exercises. That's over done anyway. You WILL find valuable useful information on how to be a MUSICIAN and how to interact with other musicians in a band. You will learn what it takes to contribute to a band situation. Who better to show these things than Nathan East.

Nathan East does a great job giving you an inside look on what it is to be in the business and shares his experiences over the years with some of the top recording artists in the business.

This DVD never arrived from MusicMars. I give it one star because it might be good and not in stock at this company, BUT !!!, after I placed my order with them a month ago they said that they had the item and would be shipping it and I should have it from the 3rd to 21st of September. That past and customer service has yet not produced it when I contacted them, not good. HELP !!!!
