Bass Guitar Lessons: The Complete Beginners Guide

Hey! Welcome to my Bass Guitar class. It caters for every beginner and covers songs and techniques that will take you up to an intermediate bass guitar level. There is no experience necessary. And it's suitable for both electric and acoustic Bass Guitar.

I have attached plenty of PDF's to this class, which will assist with your learning - and have also added some extra songs for you to challenge yourself with and push your playing even further. There are also a ton of links in the 'Project & Resources' section of this class that will take you to the songs we cover and all of the equipment and software I discuss. I will also link you to guitar recording and music production software and mention some tips for these areas along the way. 

We are going to cover everything you need to make you feel confident and creative on the Bass, with an easy to follow structure: 

Anatomy & Understanding: A simple introduction to help you understand all the different parts of the instrument and how to read and digest the music we will be covering. 

Tuning & Technique: All the tools and tips you need to correctly tune the Bass - plus the essential guidance to get you off to a great start with your playing technique.  

Exercises & Riffs: We begin building the foundations of our Bass playing, with some easy to access exercises. And we couple this with some cool riffs to learn! 

Scales & Keys: Here we scratch the surface of music theory, but I promise it's not too heavy or overwhelming! It's demonstrated with accessible exercises and it will leave you with some great knowledge that will make the Bass guitar and music theory seem a lot less daunting! 

Exploring Further Songs: A chance to mix up our learning journey with some different styles of music. 

Developing Technique: We now push our playing further by developing timing and some cool techniques! 

Songwriting: I'm a firm believer that everyone has their own, unique, creative ability - and I aim to demonstrate in this class how you can start to experiment with creating your own music. 

Final Thoughts: A quick round up and recap of everything we've covered. 

I'm available throughout your entire learning journey - so please feel free to reach out at any point if you have any questions along the way. You can message on the classes 'Discussion' area or catch me on:
