Congrats. You have found your resource for premier bass education, tips and resources.
We are excited to enter the bass guitar market and bring you the same quality audio, video and instruction that made our online guitar lessons the best in the industry. Over the past 12 months, we have been assembling a broad collection of veteran players to kick off our launch into the instrument.
Each lesson is professionally filmed in our studios located in Greeley, Colorado and Kent, Ohio. All lessons are offered in high-definition quality and presented with 3-5 cameras depending on the material taught. Our lessons stream to you in 5 different qualities, with the additional capability to stream all video lessons to your mobile device!
Learning is only realistic with resources, and only possible with organization and some structure. Our teaching structure is insanely simple, but surprising effective. Instead of viewing a slew of random videos with little support, we seperate our teaching material into 4 distinct phases.
Phase 1 of our teaching method serves to teach you these absolute basics, such as tuning, posture, technique, reading tablature and playing bass lines. Our Phase 1 lessons begin as if you have just picked up a bass guitar for the first time, and follow step-by-step through the beginner process.
Phase 2 of our teaching method focuses on genre specific techniques and skills. After you have a firm grasp on the lessons and topics covered in Phase 1, you then move onto your preferred genre of music. Our phase 2 lessons are taught with the idea that you are already have a basic understanding of the bass.
A large majority of bass players simply want to pick up the instrument and play their favorite songs. While Phase 1 and 2 give you the building blocks to playing guitar, Phase 3 gives you an outlet to start playing music. Here, our teachers take your requests, and teach you how to play your favorite songs.
Anything goes in the Artist Series! This is where our artists teach you the techniques and styles that put them on the map! These exclusive lessons are some of our most popular on the website. Unlike our Phase 1 and Phase 2 lessons, artist-based lessons may not follow a set chronological order.
This isn't YouTube. We don't produce content in a bedroom. We offer the highest quality production values of any offering on planet earth, and are constantly striving to improve our operations. With up to 6 different camera angles, we are confident we have the angle you need!
Control the content you want! Our new interface allows you to pull, stretch, resize and shape the interface as you please. This gives you ultimate control over your lesson experience and gives you a stable presentation on any cell phone, tablet, or desktop computer.
We we have been assembling a broad collection of veteran players to provide the best possible bass lessons. Check out our current roster of teachers below, and keep in mind; this list will continue to grow as we hire new instructors to expand our platform.
