The 80/20 Bassist

---

Work Smarter, Not Harder is a phrase I have heard numerous times over the years, and I was always curious about how that would apply to me as a bass player. I, like you, have spent a lot of time studying the bass; practicing technique, practicing reading, learning songs, learning how to play the changes, etc and so on.

Have you been attempting to learn to play the bass on your own? 

Have you been trying to learn how to read music? 

Do you try to learn from a myriad of YouTube videos and still no results?

I am inviting you to join me on a journey that will give you a firm foundation in music, as a bass player as well as giving you skills that will improve every area of your life. Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, “A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.”

When you begin studying it is crucial to study materials the right way. From fingerings to basic theory, all lessons should help you to accelerate your progress in a systematic way. I have developed a number of strategies that will, if you practice regularly, get you up and playing quickly

I believe that if you hear something in your head, the only obstacle is finding a way to play it on your instrument. These lessons stress Harmony, Theory, Dexterity, Reading. When all of these are combined with Ear Training your skills will improve dramatically and you will be able to play exactly what you hear in your head!
