This course is meant as an introduction to blues bass following proven learning strategy from years of teaching experience. We won’t be going into any complicated theory and blues bass concepts. Instead, what you’ll gain are necessary foundations for expanding your knowledge and more precisely - get the tools to cheat your way into blues bass territory. After all, not all of us seek to end up being session musicians or super stars in certain genres. Many musicians (even pros!), often prefer just to take the easy route and learn how to “fake” certain styles because mastering music or a genre can take a lifetime to achieve. This is what you’ll learn: you’ll learn how to “fake” blues bass type of lines, until you are ready to learn more. I must say, that this can be a lot of fun to do. A lot of my friends (myself included), rarely actually feel the need to learn specific styles in more depth, yet enjoy jamming.
This course, does not rely on any music theory (at least complicated concepts). This is a problem of many other blues bass courses as those just dig too deep into music theory, that they just become boring. Also, many blues bass courses don't have a clear starting point or a path from A to B. This can be discouraging. For this course, you’ll just need to have a very basic understanding of how to find certain notes on the bass fretboard (using basic, most often used positions on the neck).
