    This method makes more sense than the standard model. I did not have to learn the intricacies of English grammar before speaking as a child. Standard teaching method makes people try to learn music and foreign languages backwards.

      You are *ABSOLUTELY RIGHT* Jerry and that’s one of the ways our Simple Bass Playing Method is different from everything else… Imagine teaching a 2 year old with a “present participle” or a “reflexive verb” before allowing him to speak…

    Alright Alex I may have to put you to the test Bro!! I am a 40 yr old man with no music experience…NONE!! I really love the sound of Bass Guitar and want to play for myself. BUT, I am nervous about not having an ear for it. Do you think that this system is for a guy like me??? Cause I would love to just sit in the garage and play with buddy.

      My man SBPS is precisely the system for you. I’m positive it’ll have you jamming confidently with your buddies and sounding good because we’ve seen users in your exact position go from ZERO to gigging around their local towns in very short order.

    I agree with with the statements you make on how we learn. I am an x-golf professional and gave lessons for years. We all start by copying what we see other players do without any knowledge of the mechanics. Some people make the mistake of thinking that knowledge of the swing will automatically make them a good player. Not the case. I can remember saying many times “you have to practice playing to be a good player & not always doing drills/mechanics or else you will only be a good practice-er”. I think this would equate to your statements of spending hours learning scales instead of spending your time playing. I’m looking forward to the next lesson. I hope your system can turn a jock into a musician. 🙂

    This looks great. if it continues to be this easy I think even I can learn to play. I am 59 and know nothing about music. I have a little more time to practic than the average guy. So I hope you can teach an old dog new tricks.

    I’ve been playing bass…very simply for about 5 years and would like to take my playing to the next level. I’m exactly the impatient person with no time that you described….I’m also older (48)…and a woman. Family, work and other committments make it hard to find time to practise but since playing bass guitar is just about the coolest thing I’ve ever done, I’d like to learn to do it better…in a short amount of time.

    I don’t have a BASS as of yet but when i hear a BASS played in any kind of music it just stands out so much i said i got to get a BASS and learn how to play. Your video seems like playing BASS isn’t that hard to learn as long as like anything else you stay on it. That’s what i’ll do as soon as i get a BASS. I’m shopping for one right now. Any tips on what to look for when i’m shopping? Thanks for all your help. Keep up the GREAT work.

    these riffs are fun to play. I’m a very beginning beginner with no musical talent, and I’d like to be able to jam with my brothers who all play guitar at some level. I can’t hear the bass very well on Another One Bites the Dust. B.T/w The pdf tabs are also very helpful, but my old tired eyes can barely see the notes

    Thank You Alex! I am a 56 year young surfer who plays at a church. I am an average guitar player but in just in the last couple months am getting competent at bass. I can not beleive how much I have learned frm you and for free!
    As soon as i get another job I will buy whatever you have just to say thanks for the free stuff.
    I thought I was crazy because I kept putting smooth wound strings on my bass and going for that
    smooth sound…but that is exactly the sound you play and teach. thanks again

    Now THIS makes sense. I took a couple dozen formal lessons, had to stop due to work constraints. I learned Morse Code in the same conceptual philosophy as this is built around (mostly). Just WOW. Hopefully, I can get home today, repeat the beginning vid, open the downloaded files I saved to a thumb drive and go at it !!!

    Hope to see the next vids, Alex. You are a gifted and devoted young man, Thank You !
