Who this course is for:

All ages - Kids to Adult

For the beginner - This is a great starting point and you will learn beginner techniques broke down
All ages - I once had a 96 year old man who wanting to take lessons. His goal was to learn 5 songs so he could die a happy man. He did exactly that and died a happy man. So if you are telling yourself you are to old, seriously it is never too late.
For the people that are saying my fingers are too fat, long or long, believe me I have heard all of that but truly believe anyone can play bass if you are willing to put in the work. It takes time to learn the bass. For most people it doesn’t just happen overnight but when things finally start to click it is really fun.
For anyone looking to meet new people. Playing the bass is a great way to make new friends. I have met my closest friends playing music. There is a huge community of like-minded people playing music in every part of the world.
