Players Path is a graded course of study presented by Scott's Bass Lessons consisting of 9 different levels from absolute beginner to experienced pro players. You will find the backing tracks for these pieces here: www.scottsbasslessons.com
At each level, there are 6 pieces to choose from in various styles, and each one presents unique technical challenges. You pick 3 tracks to work on at a given level, and take as much time as you need in order to master them (or at least play them to the best of your ability) and then take a self-assessment in order to 'pass' a given level.
i'm not approaching these pieces in an academic manner though, because i'm not interested in playing them note for note. i'm just looking at them as fun and interesting things to work on and to use as points of departure for my own personal interpretations of each track.
This playlist is made up from my various 'work in progress' &/or 'experimental' takes... the final versions can be found in the SBL Players Path playlist.

Squirrels As Leaders

Since this metal stuff doesn't really come naturally to me, 
i figured that i would start out by kinda jamming along w/ it
just to get a feel for the parts and the various sections of 
the tune. 
Consider this a 'baseline' take... nowhere to go from here
but upwards, LOL.
