The students wanted to keep going!
And so will you!
I first started teaching these Masterclass sessions during the pandemic. When we were done with a level, students always instantly requested a next one – each level bringing ever more tangible and measurable results and big improvements in their playing and musicality. One group went 6 levels deep, together! They thrived, expanding their musical voice, improving their soloing, deepening their connection to the instrument and to music beyond their wildest expectations!
For a limited time only we are offering the 2023/2024 edition of Pattern System Masterclasses Levels 1, 2, 3. This fabulous group of bass players went three levels deep together. You can join them now, at a huge discount!
I signed up for the next session less than 24 hours after the info was posted so that should tell you something.
