Free Bass TranscriptionsYou've been reading my charts. Now learn to write your own.
Every transcription on this site started with headphones and a lot of rewinding. Lessons are that same process in real time, built around your playing — your reading, your groove, and the songs you actually want to play.
Students in the UK, USA, Greece, Sweden and Australia — time slots across most time zones.
I'm now entering my fifth block of lessons and the transformation in my understanding of my instrument, my style of playing and my ability to read and write music is little short of miraculous.
One of the qualities I most value is that he is careful to point out my mistakes and give me the guidance I need but is always motivating and positive about it. I always leave the lessons feeling energised and encouraged, never demotivated.
Five things we build on
No fixed curriculum and no group classes. Where we start depends entirely on where you are.
- 01
Time, rhythm and groove
Where the note sits, how long it lasts, and why that is most of the job.
- 02
Technique and tone
Both hands, and getting the sound you actually want out of the instrument.
- 03
Harmony
Enough theory to know what you are playing over and why it works.
- 04
Ear training
Hearing a line and finding it — the skill behind every chart on this site.
- 05
Repertoire
The songs you want to play, or need to play for a gig on Saturday.
Every student gets a Google Drive folder with the PDFs and audio from each lesson, plus specific guidance on what to practise and how.
