🦍 New Lesson Guide // Mirror Deep by Neurosis 🦍 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.

🦍 Mirror Deep by Neurosis bass lesson out now 🦍 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.
Check out the video on the Beholden to the Riff YouTube channel 🤘

🦍 Awaken the Riffian // Live cohort starts May 26th 🦍 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, 10–15 minutes of daily practice, and a short clip to track your progress.

20 per cohort. Small enough for direct feedback on every live call.

Hit me up with any questions!

All of my thanks and gratitude,

🦍 The Lesson Practice Guide for "Flight of the Eagle" by OM is ready to download on the Patreon page 🦍

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.
