INTERMEDIATE COURSE

So you've been playing the bass for some time now, you got your basics covered and your band hasn't replaced you with a synth bass. Great.

​

Then one day your guitarist grabs your bass and starts ripping away like a pro, while you slink into a corner and stare at the ceiling. Annoying - yes, but it's not "innate talent" that you're up against. It just boils down to what your guitarist knows that you don't.

​

EXPAND YOUR MUSICAL VOCABULARY

Many musicians shy away from music theory because they think it's useful only in classical music or that it's for "professional musicians". But doing so is like chaining yourself to a pole while you try to sprint.

​

The greatest basslines are all rooted in music theory and in this course, you'll finally discover the inner workings behind these killer bass grooves. Structured in easy-to-understand stages of learning, you'll get to systematically apply what you've learnt and create your own awesome grooves, while getting instant feedback from your bass sensei.

 

This is your chance to study the incredible and unique playing styles of outstanding bassists like James Jamerson, Victor Wooten, Paul McCartney, Chris Wolstenholme, Flea and more.

​

BASS TECHNIQUES

This is also the perfect course for you if you're looking to master expressive bass playing techniques like raking, double/triple hammer-on & pull-off, palm-muting, trills, slap & pop, harmonics etc. Just like how when we talk, we don't speak in monotones, on the bass you similarly want to have different articulations when you "speak" on the bass.
