There’s no getting around that. No pain, no gain, right? However – with these principles in mind, your practicing will be far more effective, and you will literally notice yourself improving very rapidly.
(No one’s forcing you beyond your living room here… I’m just sayin’…) So What’s With The 2 Hour Claim? And here I thought you’d never ask… My Decoding The Bass Guitar lesson is almost exactly 2 hours long, so I’m actually leaving room in there for a washroom break if you need it.
I’m The Most Patient Teacher In The World… …but only on video! Have you ever been trying to learn a particular thing on your bass, perhaps from a friend or another musician, and you just couldn’t get the hang of it, no matter how hard you tried? It can be a bit embarrassing… (I’ve been there!) One of the reasons why video lessons are such a great investment is the fact that the video does not get frustrated or impatient if you have to replay a section a dozen times before you get it right.
Fact is, I believe that once you watch through this bass guitar lesson, and the principles I teach in there sink into your head, you will automatically start playing differently.
That’s what knowledge does to you – it actually renews your mind into a different way of thinking! It’s no wonder they say Knowledge is Power! After going through this lesson, you will not look at your bass guitar the same way again… I guarantee it.
(think I’m pulling your leg? I’m dead serious …) Now – time for the disclaimer – I don’t have any secret potion of bass mastery that I can send you, so just like everyone else in this world, you’re going to have to practice in order to improve.
So Easy A Child Can Master It… I’m not talking about complicated theory here! My basic requirements are these: Do you know the first seven letters of the English alphabet? (If not, I’ll TELL YOU!) Can you count to eight? (Again, we can WORK on this!) Do you WANT to learn the bass guitar? (The ONE thing you’ll have to provide on your own…) If you answered YES to all three, then you’re already well on your way to mastering the bass guitar.
The basic principles I’m going to show you about your bass guitar don’t require anything more than you already have… and yet these principles are so powerful, that you could use them to go all the way to Nashville, should you have the desire to do so.
