For Every Level of Player
You don’t have to wonder if you’re “good enough” for a cohort.
Our courses aren’t split into beginner, intermediate, or advanced - they’re built so the same material works at every stage.
If you’re new, the design naturally keeps you focused on the essentials.
If you’re experienced, the very same framework lets you push deeper and explore more advanced variations.
And because the community vibe is so supportive, you’ll always find others at your level - everyone moving forward together. It’s incredibly motivating to see bassists of all backgrounds working toward their goals and cheering each other on along the way.
So Effective, It’s Addictive
When progress is this real - so feelable and measurable - it becomes addictive.
And on top of it all, the process is fun.
No wonder many players keep coming back, again and again.
Even More the Second Time Around
I got just as much out of it the second time, if not more.

Your Questions, Answered
Do I need the course as well?
Yes. A cohort is an add-on that gives you structure and accountability for an existing course.
- If you already own the course you can just get the Cohort add-on.
- If you don’t have the course yet, grab the Course+Cohort option.
How much time does it take?
Cohorts are 12 weeks long.
Plan on ~45 minutes of practice five days a week, plus 1 hour every other week for your video submission.
Do I need to be at a certain level to join?
No. Cohorts are designed for all levels of players.
Our courses aren’t divided into beginner, intermediate, or advanced.
Instead, the same material adapts to where you are right now:
- if you’re new, the structure naturally keeps you focused on the essentials.
- if you’re experienced, the very same framework lets you go deeper and push your playing further.
The community is always supportive, and you’ll find it motivating to see players at every stage working toward their goals and cheering each other on.
What if I fall behind?
Life happens! All materials are recorded, and the group plus coaches are there to help you get back on track. Many students catch up and finish successfully even if they hit a bump along the way.
Will coaches teach me bass?
No. Coaches are course finishers and volunteers trained in accountability. Their role is to keep you focused, motivated, and supported – so you get the most out of the course. They share their own experiences with the course and many have done the course over and over themselves.
How is this different from live practice series?
A cohort is a structured program with deadlines, coaches, videos to post.
Live practice series are ongoing and more casual.
Do students ever repeat a cohort?
Yes – and that’s by design. Cohorts are built to grow with you. The same framework can feel completely different depending on where you are in your playing.
That’s why many students choose to join future rounds of the same cohort, finding fresh insights, new challenges, and deeper progress every time.
