Bass Guitar Course 2  Lesson Samples       Song Samples

If you've finished one of Bill Brown's "Intro" courses to the Bass Guitar and you want to go further then this is the course for you!

 

In this course you will learn how to play "slap" bass while at the same time learning a few grooves to get you started.

You will also learn the theory to build major, minor, 7th, m7th, and major 7th chords and how to use them.

AND there is a whole CD dedicated solely to improvising in Major and Minor keys using both the pentatonic and diatonic scales.

Also in this course you will learn both the short and long minor boogie pattern and the "Philly" swing - a "must know" for any serious bassist.

 

As expected this will all be taught with the detail you have come to expect from Bass by Ear and of course there are lots of practice tracks to play along with - over 70! - in the styles of Funk, Rock, Blues and Gospel.

 

So, come along and join Bill Brown as he takes your bass guitar playing to the next level!
