Below, you will find a collection of free bass lessons fully equipped with video demonstrations, explanations, and inside tips. Standard notation is included as well as bass tab, when applicable.
These articles are meant to help you learn some basic background knowledge as well as introduce you to the many different aspects of "playing the bass!"
It's kind of like having an absolutely free online bass magazine!
Be sure to check back often for new material. Our goal is to have at least one hundred Lessons and Articles available for you right here!
Don't forget to work through these lessons at your own pace! There is no need to rush.
You will benefit from playing these exercises "in time" with a metronome or drum machine. Slow-and-Steady is the key to learning how to play "cleanly."
These lessons are not meant to be a substitute for a qualified music teacher, a mentor, and/or real life experience in the field of live performance/jamming. These lessons will, however, attempt to offer you some of the most advanced bass techniques and up-to-date information available.
