Teach Me Bass Guitar Review

For years, there’s been a dearth of quality video-based bass guitar courses for new bassists available online. In 2009 that changed in a big way with the creation of Teach Me Bass Guitar, a brand new course from The Learning Dock, a multimedia music education company.

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. The course contains over a year’s worth of bass lesson, so this is not a bass program you'll want to rush through. If you are able to master everything through lessons 10, you will 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. In addition to the accolades Teach Me Bass Guitar has garnered from the greater bass community, it has been the recipient of an AEGIS Video & Film production award in 2009 and a Telly Award.

Fretboard Formula Review

It can be rather difficult to find good-quality learning products that specifically teach how to play bass guitar online. So we were highly interested when we discovered that Alex Sampson had recently released a new multimedia bass guitar course called Fretboard Formula. We placed our order for the course as soon as it became available, and were pleasantly surprised with what we found.

The Fretboard Formula contains many learning elements that other bass courses leave out, such as video training, solid musical theory, and audio demonstration tracks. The video element of the course is fairly substantial containing over nine and an half hours worth of instruction...

Guitar and Bass Review

As the name suggests, Guitar and Bass offers two different courses on their website for both the bass guitar and the acoustic / electric guitar. If you buy the download version they have available, you will get access to both of these courses.

Guitar and Bass is a very impressive product with an extremely low price tag. With 50+ lessons, the course covers a wide spectrum of bass guitar techniques, chords, styles, how to play lead and accompaniment bass guitar, and teaches everything in a unique, interactive way. There is a demo lesson available on their site which we encourage you to check out.

The Guitar and Bass course is available as an internet access download version or a packaged cd-rom version. We like the internet based download as it gives access to both the bass guitar and the regular guitar course, has several great software add-ons, and saves even more money as you don't have to...
