Work Ari's BRAND NEW Course with support
Here's What Ari's Students are Saying...
I found Ariane Cap after attending her session on SBL. Bought her book "Music Theory for the Bass Player".
In the surf band (they needed a bass player) my tabs were done for me and I had to memorize everything, not knowing the layout of the fretboard and always wondering why notes were a certain way.
After buying Aris book and taking her courses it really opened up freedom on the fretboard for me.
I became more comfortable with the fretboard and the musical notes.
Ari’s courses are very well structured with a wealth of information.
On a personal note I have a medical background and Ari’s courses opened up a whole different way of thinking.
Realized you're never too old to learn and I have definitely enjoyed the journey. You absolutely get more than what you pay and its a great lifetime investment.

Ari's personality and passion for bass, and for you as a player and a person, shines through in abundance, making you feel comfortable regardless of your learning pace.
No matter where you are in your musical journey, Ari has the ability to connect with you on your level and pull you further along your path.

Thank you for finally providing quality bass instruction that gives students material to practice. There is so much information out about theory, but what really lacks is proper curriculum (which you have now provided).
Without guidance on WHAT to practice right now, students become overwhelmed with information and don’t know what to practice first, how long to practice, or when to move on.
Practice is EVERYTHiNG, but without knowing what to physically practice it is so easy to get lost, confused, and frustrated.
Thank you for providing that structure that is much needed for the student!

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!
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!
Your technique and fingering take a back seat while you grapple with theory, leading to bad habits that hold you back.
Technique training for relaxation and awareness drills from day 1 -> No bad habits!
You feel overwhelmed by top-down instruction that doesn't connect theory to real music. Practice feels like a chore.
You feel like you explore & discover theory on your own and uncover your own unique ways of playing

Hi. I’m Ari.
Bassist, author, educator. 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.
I also utilize the power of learning in groups: our first cohort with volunteer coaches ran in 2018, and Practice Groups started in 2020. Our practice memberships have been going strong since 2022.
