About

Hi guys, my name is Zander and I'm a solo bassist living in London.  About once a month, I release a YouTube video of either a cover song (rock, pop, classical, film) or an original composition.  Thanks for checking my page out!

Hello and thanks for checking out my Patreon Page!  

I created the above video and this FAQ which explain all about Patreon.  I hope they're both helpful and thanks again so much for your support!

Can you tell me about Patreon?
Patreon is a new funding platform for independent artists, and it's for those of you who would like to do something extra to support the music I'm making. My solo bass videos take a lot of time and resources to create, and this is a great way for you to help me. With Patreon, you can give me a 'tip' (like $1) after I release a music video onto YouTube, as a way of saying thanks.  I'd be extremely grateful for your generous support!

Do I get something too?
Yes, I've created rewards for you as my way of saying thanks.  Some examples include: video tutorials, 'behind the scenes' videos, and Skype lessons.  Check out the full list below!

How does it all work?
You pledge a certain amount of money for each music video that I upload onto YouTube (I'm going to try to upload a video about every 6 weeks). You can stop at any point in time - Patreon is very flexible.

Where can I find out more information?

All lower tier awards, PLUS:
You'll have access to 'behind the scenes' videos where I show you how I turn songs into solo bass covers and also how I write originals, as well as 'video commentaries' after the video is released, summing up how it all got put together, in real time with the video.

These videos will demonstrate how I:
- decide which techniques to use;
- work out the melody and harmony, and how to play them both together;
- decide which altered tuning to use;
- utilise different effects, gear and audio post-production.

You'll get access to video bass tutorials to help develop your bass skills!  For each YouTube video I release, I'll also release a video bass tutorial - so you'll get a new one on a regular basis!

In these detailed, step-by-step videos, I'll be teaching you sections from arrangements of mine. I'll also include tips and guidance on how to improve your techniques!

Here's some segments from a recent tutorial, so you can get the idea: Video Tutorials Preview

All lower tier awards, PLUS:
You'll get a one to one session with me for 30 minutes on Skype for every YouTube video I release! This could either be a bass lesson or we could just chat about bass, solo bass, or music in general. 

If you like what you've seen me do on YouTube, I can certainly help you develop those same skills. This includes:
- learning solo bass techniques like harmonics, chords, tapping, etc...;
- learning my solo bass arrangements and compositions;
- a step-by-step guide to arranging songs for solo bass; 
- support with one of your own solo bass arrangements or compositions.



Also, after our Skype I'll put together a short, helpful video, personalised for you, which you could use to help focus your practices until our next session.  Sort of like a visual reminder of what we worked on in the Skype sessions.

You get all lower tier awards, PLUS:
- You'll get producer credit at the end of every video
- I'll mail you: signed copies of my two albums, 'Sonorous' and 'Saturn Return', signed copies of all future albums, and my tab book 'Zander Zon: Sonorous Bass Transcriptions' (from Bassline Publishing). 
- Also, if you like, I'd be available to give you weekly feedback on your music/solo bass endeavours. You could email me basic audio or video files of the music you're working on and I would respond with some thoughts on what's working well and what could be developed further.
