In these weekly lessons, students will be taught how to identify strings & frets, how rhythm works, how to play scales which leads into playing bass lines, and how to play your favourite songs! We start by focusing on rhythm and learning how to carry chord progressions. This quickly leads us into songs. Beyond that, we examine the music theory behind scales and bring it right into playing bass parts that will become increasingly intricate. The focus is always put on playing music and getting you to be the best bassist you can be! No background knowledge is required, only that you have your own electric bass.
