The man who "hammers down" for Vengeance Rising has decided to clue in all prospective bass players how to do it - fast. (Tablature with explanatory drawings is included) He takes about 20 licks and walks through them with an explanation, a normal (fast) performance, and a slowed-down performance, so one can see how it's done close up. It's "down home" and personal, which might make for a more casual learning experience. It looks like the entire session was shot in one take, instead of editing together perfect takes; leaving pauses and instructions of, "Zoom in on my picking hand, honey," to his wife. You can even hear a phone ring and their baby cry at one point. So, you can see it's not the slick extravaganza that a record or musical equipment company might put out, but it gets the job done. At the end of the video Roger stops and shares a little bit from the Word, concerning where he's coming from as a player and a person - which adds another dimension to the package, making it a ministry tool for your lost bass player buddies.
