Limited information explained redundantly.

The lesson is good but the keyboard kind of confused me.

By Debra Hernandez on 5/28/2018

Stuff I already knew so far, but i"m barely in to it.

By Darrell Downie on 11/19/2017

Previewing the course did not explain that the course only uses a pick and if you wanted to your fingers then you should take this course if it said this in the preview I wouldn't have put you to the course

By Malcolm M West on 2/1/2017

for me the lessons are awesome !

By Siddharth Shukla on 5/24/2015

Recommended for people who are complete beginners. I'd be nice to have some lessons on fingerpicking as well.

By Joseph Fernandes on 4/2/2015

I am learning the bass out of necessity to join a friend's band. I was told that i could just pick it up and figure it out, so I bought a bass and went to my first band practice... boy was my friend wrong! After feeling overwhelmed and discouraged for a while, i found this course and gave it a try. Within minutes i was getting a grasp of concepts my friend had tried (and failed) to show me, and at the next band practice I stunned the rest of the rest of the band with my progress. The course is fast paced, but the instructor is very clear and understandable, and you can always replay any section you had trouble with. The instructor seems generally concerned with the progress and success of his students and is quick to answer any questions. Learning an instrument is hard work, but with this course it is a manageable and rewarding process. Thanks!

This is a great course for beginners. Easy to understand, and very down to earth, and he breaks it down clearly. I was able to play some songs on the bass after taking this course. I learned alot of the basics quickly and easily!

By Jason H on 2/24/2015

This course is great! It teaches you more than just the basic steps of how to play bass, but it also teaches you how to play scales and popular bass lines. You can tell that he pushes rehearsal and self-taught techniques because he creates background tracks for you to rehearse with that match the new concepts he wants you to learn.
