About this course
Is your bass playing stuck in a rut? Do You find yourself playing the same licks just because they “work"? This course will introduce ways of approaching bass playing and musical theory that you may not have thought of before. Because of the layout of the bass fretboard it’s very easy to get stuck in the “pentatonic box” and still be a functional player. Pete will not only show you new ways of approaching scales and arpeggios, but also exercises on how to play those same old licks in a new musical way by using dynamics and melodicism. He’ll cover technical exercises for both left and right hands, using recording as a learning tool, and even discussions about music theory and the philosophy of bass playing. For every note you play there are many different factors to not only consider but also control, and this course will leave you with a deeper mastery of your instrument that goes beyond mere “chops.” You'll soon learn the difference between "playing the bass" and being a "bass player"!
