Of course, Dave Roe teaches Bass Licks and Techniques. But this DVD is more than "just another bass video". Drawing on his years of experience, both live and in the studio, Dave teaches the style that allowed him to play Stand Up Bass for the Legendary Johnny Cash from 1992 until the end of Johnny's playing career, as well as explaining what it takes to be a top session player.

The lesson covers Roots Music, Rockabilly, Latin and Country in addition to Hillbilly Slap Bass techniques. Understanding that being a Pro is more than just licks, Dave also discusses basses, both Acoustic and Electric, strings, amps, recording sessions, attitude and knowledge. Most everything you need, whether you want to come to a Major Music Center like Nashville, New York or L.A., or simply want to be a better and more professional bassist in your own home town.

On this DVD, Dave shows the styles and licks you need, then plays it with his band, to show how it works, and finally allows you an opportunity to play along without him. Our Video Director, who is not a bass player, said "By the time I got to the end of this video, even I understood what Dave was teaching."

Ken Soper, Musical Director; Joe Diffie, Rockin' Roadhouse Tour (w/ Tracy Lawrence, and Mark Chestnut), Producer/Arranger for Herringbone Records says:

"I've worked with Dave Roe for years on stage and in the studio. I didn't realize that he was also a fantastic teacher. Dave's approach to slap bass is clear, even for a non-bass-playing musician. The lessons begin simply and progress at a natural pace toward greater complexity. I particularly like the "music minus one" segments where you're shown a lesson, then get to play along with the session cats without a bass track. Roe's easy-going manner and professionalism are evident in this DVD, and I consider it a necessary part of any bass player's library."
