What's going on here?
Maybe you can relate to these comments from our community:
• "I need to stop watching training videos and actually pick up the bass".
• "It's very easy to collect courses rather than do them".
• "I find myself watching other bass players when I should spend the time practising".
• "Too much to learn! Arrggh! I can't tell which is most critical. Scales! Modes! Shapes! Rhythm! Reading! Blues! Walking bass! Rock! Slap! Riffs! Fills! I need focus, a clear way to proceed, step after step."
Blues is ideal for getting that first step out of the practice room or the bedroom into the stage and jamming with other musicians.
You'll have a sense of what's coming in the song (no need to have every note memorized because you will instinctively know what's coming up and respond on the spot with confidence)
What James teaches is easy to understand and allows you to go out into the real world and play right away."
"Even though you might not be the best bass player in the world, within weeks, you can see the progress that you have made."

Each module also has a 'Performance Track' which is modelled from a well known song but without the bass line.
This will allow you to play along with either the performance song or original track when it's time to submit your videos.

"James' lessons are real world. So what he's teaching you, you can directly apply to playing a song. And I think that's really, really important. It's not just some theoretical thing. You're using this stuff to play a song.
"Each week you get a new song that you have to learn and he has lessons that go along with the song. You go through the lessons and then you perfect the song and you record it at the end and post it onto a private group.

"Before I did the challenge, I struggled on theory because I'm not well versed in it.
"I was in a band that played 50s and 60s songs "parrot fashion" off of YouTube. So I didn't really understand how all these notes become songs and how they come out and chords and this sort of thing.
"Then we started the challenge. I was just gobsmacked with what I learned even in the first module!
"You get the lesson written out, a PDF, videos, and backing tracks. It explains what you're playing and why you're playing it, whereas before I just learned 'parrot fashion'... I didn't know what key I was in or what riff I was playing.
As you go through the challenge, it gets more in-depth and you learn a lot more. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I learned so much."
