Make Theory Stick – With This Fun Trick

Does this describe you?

⇒ You can play tabbed basslines but cannot freely create your own lines, fills, and variations?

⇒ You sense that there is some underlying logic underneath recurring sounds but cannot quite put your finger on it?… you are onto something… 

The answer can be found in decoding Music Theory!

Learning theory can be super educational (and fun!) if you use my simple trick!

In this short course, step by step, I show you how to choose notes to create your own grooves and before you know it you have learned a super useful scale (and – most importantly – how to use it!)

Learning something new means the most if you can use it right away in your playing.  

Even if you have a good handle on theory, this course is a fun review, super applicable and I have a lot of fun as I am teaching you some building blocks until an important scale has snug up on you.

Hi. I'm Ari.

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.
