Tips & Tricks

Thomas Risell aka 'MarloweDK' is a pioneer in free online bass lessons and is fast becoming one of the most popular online bass coneseurs with his true passion for groovy and funky bass playing seen and heard in his numerous video lessons.

'MarloweDK' reasons why his videos are free of charge: "...I stumbled over YouTube 2 years ago and saw all these people (good and bad) play bass in front of a webcam. I got inspired to do all my favourite funk songs - practising them well enough for OK video performances. At the same time I got the idea to make lesson videos - teaching people the stuff I would have wanted someone to teach me – and that is still a work in progress..."
