DVD - Rick Danko's Electric Bass Techniques

The Band's bassist details some of the exercises, picking techniques and ideas that formed his trademark style. With characteristic good humor he teaches the proper way to build scales, demonstrates how he uses a flatpick, provides exercises for developing bass lines, and gives "inside" tips on how to lock into a groove with a drummer. He talks with Happy Traum about some of his influences and then is joined by some Woodstock friends for an informal jam. Easy-intermediate. 60 min.
