In A Hurry To Play Great Bass?
Then you're in the right place...
The lessons, tips, and videos on this site get straight to the point with no waffle or sales-talk. Online Bass Courses is all about teaching you the skills you need to play bass like a pro. You'll learn how to create bass lines, play with impeccable groove, understand your instrument, and much more. If you're just starting out, I recommend you take a look at two blog posts I wrote designed to give you everything you need to know to play great bass:
- Bass Guitar Syllabus. This is a mega resource, linking all the lessons I have with what I believe are the skills you need to become a great bass player.
- The First Things You Should Learn On Bass Guitar
There is enough material there to keep you busy for years (and it's all free!) so bookmark these pages and get to work.
Otherwise, there are hundreds of lessons on this site, broadly organised into seven categories:
