After 7 years I’ve been revisiting the double-thumbing (aka double thumping) bass technique so made a video sharing my experience the 2nd time round…

The SY 300 Guitar Synthesizer from Boss is an intriguing piece of kit . In this video I give my first impressions and a brief overview after switching it on for the first time. Spoiler alert: it was GREAT FUN!!

In this lesson I talk about the importance of staying out of the way (sonically speaking) of other members of your ensemble/band. In the context of this lesson, this is very improvisation-related – something I’ll look at with you over the coming weeks… Thanks for dropping by.

This AMAZING Boss SY-300 guitar/synth pedal was kindly gifted to me by one of my subscribers, Laurent!! Watch as I unbox it for the very first time. Lots more videos to come using this pedal soon…

This lesson dives head-on into improvisation on the bass guitar! Even if you’ve never tried before, this lesson will hopefully get your creative juices flowing.

We’ve been exactly where you are. Dreaming of picking up a bass and flooring everyone, but daunted by the reality of actually learning it, you can also enjoy a show by looking upcoming concerts near me.

Learning can be slow and frustrating if you learn the wrong way. When you hit a wall with your learning, it’s easy to just give up or noodle along without progress.

That’s why we created Beginner to Badass, to make learning as easy as possible, with rapid results.

Beginner to Badass is not voodoo magic — it’s an intelligently designed, meticulously crafted, beginner’s bass system that even the most musically hopeless will succeed with. Here’s why:

STEP-BY-STEP SYSTEM
No confusion, no head scratching. Be coached every step of the way, with each lesson seamlessly building on the last.

LEARN REAL SONGS
Our system won’t bore you to death, because you’ll learn loads of real songs with full backing tracks for that “jam-with-the-band” experience. (Don’t worry if you can’t read music or tabs; we’ve got you covered)

YOU COULD LEARN FROM YOUTUBE VIDEOS
But with Beginner to Badass…
You get a fully structured course of lessons designed to work with each other. You won’t get a mishmash of random lessons that leave out vital beginner techniques or knowledge. You won’t be confused what to learn next.

YOU COULD HIRE A TEACHER
But with Beginner to Badass…
You’ll save a truckload of cash. If you can find a great teacher it’s one of the best ways to learn. But good teachers aren’t cheap; a year’s worth of lessons can run up to $3,000. Our lessons are a fraction of the cost, equally as effective and more convenient — do them whenever you like, at your own pace.

YOU COULD LEARN FROM BOOKS
But with Beginner to Badass…
You can see exactly how to do the technique correctly and hear the subtleties of how you should be sounding. No finger or fret mix-ups with us. You also get to use our play-along method, rather than having to figure out stuff by yourself.

YOU COULD LEARN BY USING FREE INTERNET TABS
But with Beginner to Badass…
You’ll learn the right techniques, in the right order, to get the right sound. You won’t drag along in some random order, or plateau when you should be pushing on. And you won’t need to struggle or waste time with incorrect tabs from sketchy bassists.

Here’s my latest free hands-on bass lesson…

Hi again! This lesson focuses on an often over-looked area of bass playing – dynamics. You’d be surprised just how powerful a tool dynamics can be for creating real drama, tension and movement in your playing and the music you make. I hope you enjoy the lesson – please let me know your thoughts in the comments below and above all don’t forget to subscribe to receive notifications every time I make another free video lesson like this.
