2. Carnaval Festival (#2846) by Ronnie Duisters (468)
   This is a very funny song. It is the melody of a very popular attraction in a dutch theme park. The way I tabbed it, you need a big spread of your fingers (using 2-5 position). That's good to train your fingers and endurance!

   This Slap Riff is the key to the Toxic Tango. The song is from my new CD which isn't out yet. So don't use my bassline in your recordings, please! :0) Slap your way through it!

6. Stickleback - Ballad For Sammy (#10013) by Ronnie Duisters (468)
   This is a song from my new album: "We can't all be heroes" that will be released soon. The song consists of only 3 chords, but varies in dynamics and bassline structure. Here are the basics of the chorus and the bridge (saxophone solo).

7. Axial - Dubious (#8136) by Ronnie Duisters (468)
   I once created this bassline for Axial, a band of mine which stopped some years ago. We were kind of a progressive rockband with a female singer. The bassline is played in the bridge of the song 'Dubious'.

8. HRMBG: Stringwise (#17964) by Ronnie Duisters (468)
   This lesson belongs to what I call high-range melodic bassgrooves. I want to write a book on this topic, but havent found the time yet. This is the stringwise technique to play high-range melodic basslines.
