    I am an old geezer presently teaching English in China. Will be here for a year and, what the hell, decided to learn the bass. Have some musical background and a pretty good ear. Am able to hear but have no idea how to play good bass lines. Don’t have much interest in modern stuff but would like to be able to do jazz standards. What I’ve seen so far seems excellent.

    My question: Do you ship to China? Also, is much of this available (if I pay for it) online? Let me know.

    Thanks Alex! and Amen!! i do appreciate enthusiasm. The lesson was not tedious and hard to follow. Although I think the head of the second song is out of my league at least for now. 🙂

    This video really cut to the matter of an issue I had not realized. I know a good bit of bass theory, but have only been really playing inside 1 octave. The way that you apply a bass line above 1 octave AND construct the same bassline around each chord change is really teaching me things in a new way.

    Hi Alex loved the lesson gonna try this with some of the songs we jam. I know I promised not worry about the theory. But I cant help trying to figure out if this is some kind of arpeggio.

    Thanks Elizabeth

    Amen, this has truly been amazing and a blessing in helping me play a whole lot better. You really simplify playing the bass, and it has made a major difference in my playing. I recently started playing for the church again, and the your lessons have made my playing phenomenal unjust q couple of days and it’s noticeable. Thank you so much for your time and thoughtfulness.

    Alex,

    So far I’m digging what I’m seeing. Your camera angles are wonderful, after all, if I’m going to take a ‘video course,’ I need to be able to see what I’m taking. I’ve watched so many youtube video covers where It’s impossible to see what the artists are doing. This lesson was easy to follow and yes you got me excited about your course. I am a beginner and am trying to find my style or any style for that matter; after watching ur video, I see something emerging for me and it’s exciting. So you’ve got an AMEN in Houston.

    Amen 🙂 Just getting back to playing bass after a 30 year break.
    Went to another other site first where they were just playing every variation of scale you could imagine. This approach form Alex is much simpler and direct and is closer to how I played back 30 years ago. Great now that someone (Tim Berners Lee) invented the web and that Alex has put these lessons on. Wish I had this 30 years ago.

    No theory expressed, but man I learned a lot! You really have simplified this and have made my learning so much faster. I work with a guy who has been playing guitar for 30 years. I was telling him where I was at with you videos, and he was genuinely impressed. Thanks!
