How I can Help You and Your Bass Playing
I am here to help you and your bass playing. So check this out, until 30 July you can get my bass lessons for less than $1.00 each. (Yes, pause and think. This is a discount of 80% or more. See below)
When I recently did a survey (maybe you took part in that survey) the overriding solution to almost everyone's problem was to get step-by-step bass lessons right from the beginning. That way, you are ensured that every gap in your bass playing and general music knowledge is filled. This is true even if you are a more advanced player.
How often have you stumbled just because the rudiments were not in place? That used to happen to me a lot … until I realised at the ripe old age of 36 that every problem I ever encountered in my bass playing was due to a lack of rudimentary skills. I will tell you just how that lightbulb moment occurred.
With a drummer friend, I was watching a video of one of my favourite drummers, Steve Gadd. (If you don't know who Steve Gadd, just Google his name and you might be surprised.) Steve was explaining how he put together his famous drum lick on the Paul Simon hit "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover". (Here it is on You Tube) Steve goes on to show how his entire drum lick is just a combination of rudiments. And if he did not have mastery of any of those rudiments, he would not be able to play what appears to be a complex drum pattern.
That is when my lightbulb just switched on … and it has been on ever since.
So what does this mean for you? It is simple. In all lessons in my entire course of Bass Lessons Online I show you exactly, step-by-step, how to master the rudiments. And beyond that, I show you how you can create your own combinations (just like Steve Gadd did) so you can get your own bass lines really happening.
Think about what this means to you. If you play in an band, your band mates will love you even more. If you don't play in a band yet, you will be asked to play with others within a short space of time.
This is what just one of my students said:
"I am loving the format, length (information/exercise per lesson), and frequency of the lessons. And I think you are doing a super job making sure that the lessons build on each other in a way that doesn't leave gaps.
The consolidation videos are great. I like being able to eventually watch what I hear you do in the videos. And I do want to thank you for adding information along with the exercises of what fingers to use when and where. That's especially helpful for a beginner--you don't assume that we would just naturally figure out the best way at such a beginner level.
I am hooked on playing bass. I started playing with my church worship team only 3 or 4 weeks after I picked a bass guitar up for the first time! And I'm 28, a busy mother, and have never played another instrument before. My husband (who plays acoustic guitar and is leader of our worship team) said to me the other day when he heard me playing around with the Minor Pentatonic Scale: "Vesna, you know, I've tried to minimize my comments about your bass playing these weeks because I didn't want your head to get big, but I think you missed your calling in life." He said that he thought I was a natural even though I didn't have music education in my life. I've always been musical "in my soul." And your bass lessons are helping me channel that; after so many years of being only a passionate appreciator of music, I am now also making music (and digging it immensely!) :)
Thanks again!

… And here is a comment from another subscriber:
"… also I would like to let you know, I have taken lessons from a individual, and also have self taught myself. But I have learned more from you in the last month than all the other combined. Showing me the basics and moving up from there has really helped. Thanks I feel I am on the right track now.

Oh well, here is another comment from the hundreds of testimonials I have received about Bass Lessons Online:
"Hello George, I subscribed because I was not making significant progress learning the bass by buying books and watching YouTube videos. But I was impressed by your sample YouTube videos and decided to subscribe.
I'm now able to play things on the bass that I would not have thought possible before I started the lessons, or at least not as quickly as I have learned them.
The lessons are as suitable as I could imagine them being. Every new concept seems to come along at the right time.
... at this point all I can say is that you've done a great job putting the course together.
The value is excellent. The lessons cost less than local training, and I wouldn't know how to find a good teacher locally. Most people who give music lessons are doing it because they can't make a living playing, but you seem to have an actual passion for teaching.

And more:
"Hi George! Greetings again from Canada!
The reasons I started taking your lessons was simply because of what I saw on YouTube. Knowing nothing about music at all, then finding myself actually learning something from your free lessons on YouTube, then applying it, I knew I was heading in the right direction. Besides the usual conveniences of not having to travel to lessons or learn to play bass from a guy who can play Guitar Hero on the expert setting, your lessons have really proven to be very beneficial and fun.
My biggest improvement so far has been my ability to recognize patterns when playing a song I've never played before. Instead of memorizing tabs, I will notice that certain parts of songs I'm learning how to play are just notes in, for example, the minor pentatonic scale or the major scale, etc. As well, just playing around with scales and creating my own licks has become very addictive.
My friends often ask what song I'm playing. Where I tell them, I just make it up as I go. Since I had no prior musical experience, the lessons suit me just fine. I enjoy the type of music in the lessons and the methods in which they are taught. They're easy to follow and I'd reccommend them to anyone.
On a scale of 1-10, 1 being poor and 10 being great, I rate these lessons 10 out of 10 just for the simple reason that in a few short weeks, I have gone from a guy who plays bass to a bass player (in my mind and in the minds of my friends and even a few guys at the music store lol).
Thanks again, George!! I look forward to more of your lessons!!

"One reason I chose your lessons was because they are dirt cheap, but still teach you everything you need to know. Also they do not waste time on things irrelevant to bass playing.
The suitability is like 100 % right on.
Score: FIVE OUT OF FIVE.

OK, I think you got the message. Please accept my apologies if I tend to overstate the benefits my subscribers are getting. I just want to make sure you get the benefits as well.
Furthermore, as a paid subscriber you get help from me personally any time you want it. You can send me an email anytime and I almost always respond within 24 hours.
Yet there is another benefit for you. You get a free assessment included with your subscription. This personal feedback alone is worth $95.00.
Even after you finish your course you have access to all your lessons. So you can review your lessons anytime you want.
There are a couple more bonuses for you. But this message is getting a bit long. So you will find the bonuses when you subscribe.
Now, I said you get each lesson for less than $1.00. This is how this works:
Use the PayPal "Subscribe" button on this page. Don't worry if you don't have a PayPal account. This is easy to set up and PayPal guides you through the steps. You pay a monthly subscription fee of just $8.00. This is for a period of 12 monthly recurring payments.
If for any reason you want to stop (but why would you at under $1.00 per lesson?) you can cancel your subscription with PayPal. You still get, and can keep all the lessons you paid for.
Over 12 months you get 100 bass lessons from my course - plus all the bonuses.
In case for whatever reason you cannot (or do not want to) set up a subscription with PayPal, I have created a solution for you. You can have all 100 bass lessons plus the bonuses for a one-time payment of just $86.00. All you do is use the PayPal "Buy Now" button on this web page. With this feature you do not need a PayPal account.
So you can see how easy I have made it for you. It has been lots of work for me, but I do enjoy the fact that you benefit.
This is a very special and limited-time offer. It ends on 30 July.
Take action now. Later will be too late.
