Want to go deeper into the story behind yesterday’s lesson?
That whole video—where I turned Bach’s Cello Suites into melodic bass lines—was inspired by a conversation I had with none other than Marc Langis, who played bass for Celine Dion for over two decades.
Marc’s insights into how McCartney, George Martin, and Bach shaped his musical mindset absolutely blew me away… and set off a creative spark I had to follow.
If you haven't seen the full interview yet, it’s 100% worth your time. Marc is one of the most quietly brilliant, deeply musical bassists you’ll ever come across.

🎙️ NEW Interview Drop!
“I Never Wanted to Teach…” — pdbass Gets Honest
This week I sat down with the one and only Paul Thompson (aka @pdbass) and... wow.
We talked about:
👉 How touring with Maynard Ferguson shaped him
👉 Why he resisted teaching—and how it changed his life
👉 The moment YouTube finally clicked for him
👉 Living and creating with MS
👉 The quote that stuck with me: “What you feed grows.”
Paul is one of the most thoughtful, inspiring voices in the bass world—and this conversation really hits different.

One thing I've learned over the past 20+ of playing bass professionally, is that you don't need to learn EVERY single bass line to every song ever! What you need is a good set of bass lines that are solid, strong, and versatile that can be played over any song. 😉 Watch my video below on the 4 essential rock bass lines: watch video on watch page
