You’re trapped in endless copying and rote learning, struggling to find your own voice on the bass.
Create your own grooves from day one, enjoying deep practice for fast results and keeps you motivated.
Most theory books will force you to learn to read first.
Not fun, not practical!
Master practical theory on the fretboard first, making reading music a breeze when you’re ready to tackle it.
Confusing theory concepts like WWHWWWH, leave you frustrated and wondering how to apply them.
Theory is scale degrees and sounds that we make grooves from -> This is fun, applicable and useful!

Groove enthusiast and learning nerd.
As a bassist, I have toured/played/recorded with a variety of rock, Jazz, and funk bands, I have worked with some incredible producers (Keith Olsen) and musicians (Paul Hanson, Muriel Anderson) and I toured Brazil with Stu Hamm as a duo.
As a bass teacher, I have taught at London Bass Day, Gerald Veasley’s Bass Boot Camp, SBL, Truefire, notreble… I even ran my own music school for a few years before gigs took me back on the road.
One thing to know about me is that I teach because I am absolutely fascinated with the learning process. And I am obsessed with helping others realize their musical potential.
When I started playing bass, I excelled very quickly because I had an amazing teacher who taught me using a powerful method. This method transformed my playing so quickly that I passed a bunch of high-level university auditions and even tested out of entire classes at university even though I had been playing for only a very short time.
That’s what, many years later turned into one of my books, co-written with Wolf Wein, called “The Pattern System for the Bass Player”. I created entire systems of learning based on some of these ideas and wrote books and created courses together with Wolf. Our bass books have sold over 30,000 copies and garnered rave reviews.
I started teaching online in 2009 and have embraced technology as a powerful learning tool since then, never losing sight of the importance of providing feedback and personalized guidance to learners.
Beginners and returning players who want a clear foundation without guessing what to practice. If you have a bass and 20 focused minutes, this will get you moving the right way.
You will build solid technique, time feel, fretboard basics, groove and simple fills. You will also learn how to practice correctly so your progress compounds every week.
Beginner Evolution is a step by step path. Each lesson feeds the next and everything connects on the fretboard. You are not collecting tips. You are building real skills.
No. You will learn the basics through playing. If you choose to, you can add theory and reading later. The course is designed to work with zero prior knowledge.
Plan for 20 to 30 focused minutes a day, five days a week. Short and consistent wins. I show you exactly how to structure each session.
The course itself is self paced.
If you want accountability, deadlines and community, you can add a 10 week Cohort Add-on. Cohorts keep you on track and help you finish strong. They are also a ton of fun. You get your own personal accountability coach.
