In this weeks podcast I'm joined by truly inspirational Tanya O'Callaghan.

Tanya has an amazing story. It starts when she made the decision that she was going to be a professional musician and dropped out of school to chase that dream - before she even played an instrument!

She's a simply a prime example of how focus, determination, and passion can get you to where you want to be - as long as you're willing to dig in, and make it happen.

In this weeks podcast I'm joined by none other than Juan Alderete.

Now, if you're into bass effects... Juan is your man! In fact, he has an entire website dedicated to it...

I first became aware of Juan when he was playing for The Mars Volta, but after a little research I realised I'd been a fan of his for years as he was the bass player in Racer X with Paul Gilbert and also Big Sir.

In this episode of the Scott's Bass Lessons Podcast I sit down with none other than Marco Mendoza.

Marco has played with the likes of Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, Richie Kotzen of the Winery Dogs, Ted Nugent, and many more... plus, right now he's playing with The Dead Daises and leading his own trio featuring Joey Heredia on drums (Stevie Wonder, Sheila E, Scott Henderson, Tribal Tech) and Renato Neto on keys (Prince, Sheila E., Justin Timberline, Christina Aguilera, Patti LaBelle, Luther Vandross).
