For years, there's been a dearth of quality video-based bass guitar courses for new bassists available online. That changed in a big way with the creation of Teach Me Bass Guitar, (TMBG).

 

Teach Me Bass Guitar is comprised of 10 full-length DVDs and 20 lessons that clock in at over 16 hours of bass instruction. This is by far the largest bass course we've seen to date, containing well over a year's worth of bass lessons, so this is not a program you'll want to rush through. If you're able to master everything through lessons 10, you'll already be a very competent bassist. Though the course was designed with beginners in mind, it doesn't leave you there long. Intermediate bass players will find the course relevant to their development as well.

 

I'm going to spill the beans right off the bat; Teach Me Bass Guitar is the definitive A-Z bass guitar course on the market today and we highly recommend it. TMBG makes the most of the DVD format by stuffing all 10 DVDs with pretty much all the lesson content that they could fit in. The lessons were filmed in widescreen HD and the video and audio quality is most impressive.

 

One of the best technical innovations in TMBG is the "real time fretboard" that shows what notes Roy is currently playing. This onscreen aid is an incredible tool as it enables you to easily recognize fretting patterns, note placement, and generally removes any doubt you may have in regards to what Roy is doing.

 

TMBG is the most comprehensive bass course we've come across for the serious bassist. There's no way you could get private lessons with someone of Roy's caliber for anywhere close to the price tag TMBG goes for. Add to the fact that innovations like the real time fretboard and live play-alongs make learning the bass easier and more enjoyable than ever before.
