Hey guys, how's it going? Scott here with Scott's bassessons.com and I'm back with another episode of the SBL podcast.

And I've got to say right off from the get-go, this has been one of my favorite interviews you're about to listen to.

Just love the conversation and love the story as well. It's really inspiring.

We've actually got the amazing Brian Bella with us today.

Brian, I've been following Brian for a long time, actually. He's been bass player for some of

my earliest influences for when I was a kid, like Steve Vi, Joe Satriani, Mike Conelli. He's played

with all those guys. He's recorded with them. He's toured with them. And he also has a killing band with Guthrigovint and Marco Minimum called The Aristocrats as well.

You've got to check them out. If you're into Proggy type, you know, rock, just it's off the chart.

Cool. Really, really good stuff. But Brian delivered in spades in this interview.

I was absolutely blown away.

Not only by just his openness, but his story as well is really inspiring. And I think you're going to find it super, super inspiring too. Now, before we get stuck into the course, I just want to

tell you and remind you that we have just released a brand new course into the course library over at the

Academy. So make sure you check that out if you haven't already. It's called the Reading Chart Survival

Guide, 19 super focus lessons, over three hours of material. It's the full shenanigans and it takes

you right through the process of reading lead sheets and charts.

I'm not talking about notation guys here.

I'm talking about reading lead sheets and charts.

Really, really fundamental stuff that as bass players and musicians, everybody needs to get

down because it can really, really help your development as a musician.

And you're understanding as well of form and things like that and how to use chords and the full thing really. So check out that course if you haven't. Just go over to Scottsbassessons.com and check it out there and you'll find all the information. Now, if you're listening to the podcast on iTunes, I'll send you all of my bass love if you subscribe and leave a review,

as that really helps us get the word out about these interviews, guys. And I really think there's

so much to be learned from listening to great bass players, such as the guests that we have on
