“The Busy Person’s Guide to Playing Great Sounding Bass Lines…“
Today’s presentation will show you a uniquely powerful, cut-to-the-chase and THEORY-FREE system for both learning to play AND rapidly improving your bass playing to a HIGHLY IMPRESSIVE level…
It’s called “CONVERSATIONAL MUSICALITY” and it’s based around a tightly compressed 4-point practice plan specifically designed to give RAPID RESULTS to *beginner and rookie-intermediate* bass players who are short on practice time!
If you’re just starting off as a brand new bass player OR you’ve been playing for a while and feel like you’ve been stuck at the same old level for far too long, don’t leave here without watching this video!..

“Around The Fretboard In 5 Simple Steps…“
In today’s video lesson we’ll tackle two questions I folks hit me up with all the time… The first is about getting more control of the entire width of the fretboard and being able to play more comfortably in different areas…
…And the second is about locking down on some of the most useful “scales” a beginner needs to know to get playing fast.
Now while it’s true (and in my opinion perfectly ok) that you can get started playing without knowing any scales at all…

“A Bullet-Proof Method For Coming Up With Great Riffs…“
Almost every time I show this silly little exercise for coming up with great bass riffs to a student we go through the same cycle… First they almost shrug off the idea because it either doesn’t seem hip, it’s too easy or they have a readymade excuse as to why it won’t work for them…
I get them to agree that they’ll at least humor me long enough to try it for 15 minutes then the day after I usually hear back from them…
…Bubbling with excitement over the dozen cool bass riffs they came up with during the marathon practice session they enjoyed the day before.

“Riffin’ On The Pentatonic Scale – Part 1…“
Hey guess what we’re doing today?
That’s right… Playing some pretty cool bass riffs, from some pretty cool tunes, so go grab your pretty cool bass if you can and let’s dive in.
But more than just riffing a few songs, I kinda wanted to show you the application of something we covered in a previous video – The Pentatonic scale…

“Riffin’ On The Pentatonic Scale – Part 2…“
In today’s mini lesson we continue where we started off in riffing on a few cool ‘jaunts’ that make use of the pentatonic scale…
As before I just need to remind you to take a look at the previous video lesson entitled “Around the Fretboard In 5 Simple Steps” to ensure you have all FIVE (5) Pentatonic shapes below your fingers.
Secondly remember that in the video I am purposefully moving riffs out of the original key just for uniformity… In other words because the first video coached you through the Pentatonic Scale in the key of C, I am “forcing” all the riffs we learn today into “C”.
