The Music Theory for The Bass Player Wall Chart

Staring at the wall has never been so productive

Michelle’s new practice nook, when the family moved back in due to COVID. She says: If you don’t have a place to hang your music theory wall chart on a wall, it works great to pop it into a frame and put it on a music stand!

Practicing in San Diego… also spying the music theory book and an open Practice Group!

Michigan Jazz Cats, ready to practice!

The Bass Theory Wallchart AKA
Theory Cheat Sheet

It keeps the most important points to remember fresh in your mind. It arranges the most important building blocks of music in a visually appealing and easy-to-grasp chart, with reference to the fretboard.

Hang this handy wall chart in your practice room and keep the basics top of mind. 

The Music Theory for the Bass Player Wall Chart is…

  • AKA “The Cheat Sheet” – a stand-alone resource (if you know theory)
  • A great add-on to the book to serve as a visual reminder and summary
  • An 18 by 27 inches sized high quality offset printed poster
  • Visually appealing, inspiring and informative through the use of fretboard diagrams, photos and examples
  • Created with input from students and readers of Ariane’s book
  • A complete practice tool (explained in three video tutorials, 45 minutes in length)
