Ryan Madora

Great channel

To be honest, this is a perfect book for me on two levels. Ever since my teenage years, I've been deeply interested in musicians and would read sleeve notes to find the artists involved and thus discover other works and collaborations to share with my mates. More recently, as an adult learner of the Bass I'm interested in how bassists do what they do in the hope to introduce cool new techniques into my playing. In this small approachable book, Ryan has selected an eclectic mix of 35-odd bass players and for each has provided a brief bio, style notes and three selected recordings. Just what I want at this stage of being an early intermediate player who loves a wide range of music.

Great if you want to go from beginner to intermediate

I did Ryans course when I was a bit stuck in my learning. Her course, that gradually becomes more challenging, helped me to get to intermediate level on bass.

Great framework for developing skills

I've played guitar my whole life but have only been playing bass a few years. These lessons are great. I feel more confident in my technique and I have a much better idea of how to create great bass lines. You can start as a beginner, but it moves you quickly to a much higher level. I highly recommend this course.

Great Help

I have been hacking away learning the bass, and improving slowly, but using sloppy positioning and especially strumming wrong....(which I see a lot of bass players do). But when i studied your fundamentals course it not only all makes sense, but your exercises are really helping to retrain my right hand. Thank you. Sometimes when I play, I pretend I am you and pretend to have the obvious very learned background, that really helps. Thanks again.
