Course Description

Always wanted to learn how to play blues bass, but it was too difficult or confusing?

This course is my personal shortcut to "instant blues bass" playing. You’ll learn the basic concepts and strategies that will allow you to get your toes into improvising simple blues bass lines in just a few weeks of practicing. Yes - you will be IMPROVISING on your OWN and be able to play the BLUES! Trust me, you can do it. The strategies that I’ll share with you are easy to apply and practice. I'll help you get started effortlessly and don't get stuck along the way (like I did when I was figuring out things for myself).

Please watch the free preview videos to get a taste for what’s inside this premium course.

This course is shot in full HD video, with quality bass playing audio mixed with the backing tracks. The course is split into chapters, each adding new concepts to help you get down the blues. This means that each chapter is really doable - you just need a bit of practice. I've spent a lot of time refining the materials to make them really "to the point". There is no fluff in this course. Did I mention that I managed to skip all the boring music theory as well?

This course includes:

  • PDF, Guitar Pro 5 & Guitar Pro 6 tabs for each playing example
  • Interactive backing track videos for jamming and practice
  • A number of blues bass lines that you can learn note-for-note and steal ideas from
  • English subtitles
  • Unlimited forum help and instructor feedback

I want to encourage you to post your questions as you go through the course. Please feel free to send me messages anytime! I’ll be checking them out and responding quickly. Also, I’d like to ask you to record audio files or videos (you can post videos on Youtube) and send them to me for feedback.

I’m here to help YOU learn blues bass, so please don’t be shy.

This course is meant as an introduction to blues bass following proven learning strategy from years of teaching experience. We won’t be going into any complicated theory and blues bass concepts. Instead, what you’ll gain are necessary foundations for expanding your knowledge and more precisely - get the tools to cheat your way into blues bass territory. After all, not all of us seek to end up being session musicians or super stars in certain genres. Many musicians (even pros!), often prefer just to take the easy route and learn how to “fake” certain styles because mastering music or a genre can take a lifetime to achieve. This is what you’ll learn: you’ll learn how to “fake” blues bass type of lines, until you are ready to learn more. I must say, that this can be a lot of fun to do. A lot of my friends (myself included), rarely actually feel the need to learn specific styles in more depth, yet enjoy jamming.

This course, does not rely on any music theory (at least complicated concepts). This is a problem of many other blues bass courses as those just dig too deep into music theory, that they just become boring. Also, many blues bass courses don't have a clear starting point or a path from A to B. This can be discouraging. For this course, you’ll just need to have a very basic understanding of how to find certain notes on the bass fretboard (using basic, most often used positions on the neck).

Please send me your feedback about the course. What did you like? What did you not like? How could I improve it? Your feedback means a lot to me and I need it  in order to better shape the course content for YOU.

Cheers,

A good starter for bass players. Instructions are very clear and the backing tracks are helpful. The pdf files could be improved by having seperate titles linked to the lessons to which they refer. Thanks - all in all, a good course.

I like the flow of the course so far, the lessons are at a good pace, and the practice sessions are fun and make sense. I like the feel of the course. Thanks.

By Bill Morgan on 6/1/2017

I'm amazed how much I learned in an hour. The various chord progressions using triads and scales with a blues rhythm was really great as the instructor slowly built on each step and gave great instruction inbetween.
