๐ฆ New Lesson Guide // Mirror Deep by Neurosis ๐ฆ This is a structured, day-by-day practice plan designed to pair with the lesson video and Soundslice TAB.
It covers all three riffs:
- The absolutely massive main riff
- The 16th-note endurance section
- The dead-note groove pattern
All with specific exercises, tempo targets, and pass/fail checkpoints for each.
The practice focus is right-hand consistency and conviction through repetition. The guide walks you through isolated right-hand drills, dead-note technique, tempo progressions, and a full run-through test so you know when each riff is solid.

๐ฆ Mirror Deep by Neurosis bass lesson out now ๐ฆ Mirror Deep is built on weight and restraint, the kind of bass playing where every note earns its place.
This lesson breaks down the riff mechanics, the timing decisions, and the tone choices that make it feel massive without overplaying. You'll understand why less movement creates more impact.

๐ฆ Awaken the Riffian // Live cohort starts May 26th ๐ฆ Awaken the Riffian is a 4-week live cohort for beginners who want to play heavy bass with solid tone, groove, and confidence.
Each week follows the same structure: a 60-minute live Zoom session, 10โ15 minutes of daily practice, and a short clip to track your progress.
20 per cohort. Small enough for direct feedback on every live call.

All of my thanks and gratitude,

๐ฆ The Lesson Practice Guide for "Flight of the Eagle" by OM is ready to download on the Patreon page ๐ฆ
This is a five-day structured practice plan built around the core lesson concept: making the open Eb sit at the same weight as the fretted notes.
Each day has a single focus word, three practice steps, and a clear done signal so you know when to move on.
Inside:
Daily warmups targeting open-string calibration and note-length consistency
Day-by-day riff practice progressing from the fretted cell to full integration
Tone setup guidance for matching Om's recorded sound
A lesson recap and "what's next" section
Pairs with the lesson video and Soundslice TAB.
