If you’re a bass player who likes our YouTube channel, then you’re going to absolutely LOVE this…
Don’t just watch your bass heroes, learn to play like them!
If you're like so many bass players I hear from on our YouTube channel, you're inspired by all the amazing musicians you see and you’re excited about leveling up your bass play. But you’re also a little worried because you often feel…
- Overwhelmed
- Stuck in the whirlpool of endless online lessons
- Unsure of what to focus on next
- Uninspired by your practice routine
Well sleep easy... you are not alone!
The good news is I'm about to hand you the exact way to become the bass player you’ve always dreamed of.
But, before I reveal how you’ll be leveling up your bass playing in a major way, let me quickly tell you about the surprising realization I had…
My surprising realization
Here at SBL, we reach more than 1.2 million bass players globally and our videos have been watched over 260 million times. This means I get to connect with a LOT of bass players at all levels around the world.
So many players I speak with wonder why no matter how much they practice, it feels so hard to make any real progress.
After all, the internet was supposed to make everybody Olympic-athlete-super-geniuses who can all play like their bass heroes because there is so much information available online. Right?
Well, unfortunately, the reality of learning the bass online is nothing like that.
It’s mostly a mountain of distraction, shiny objects, uncertainty, confusion, and wasted time, and even though you’re super motivated to level up your playing, you’re generally left feeling totally crap, stuck, and let’s be honest, a bit fed up.
Well, I’m here to tell you... it’s not your fault!
It's difficult to know what to even focus on because there’s just SO MUCH information coming at you from Every. Single. Angle.
The problem is “YouTube Roulette”
This cycle is what I call “YouTube Roulette.”
You spin the wheel, go in circles, practice something random and disconnected that the YouTube algorithm feeds you like a greasy plate of junk food… and then you end up back in the same place…
Uninspired, frustrated, and stuck.
Here’s what’s clear:
Right now, trying to learn bass online has failed you.
And that’s because you’ll always be able to find MORE information…
And each and every day the problem will just get worsefor you as more random “junk food content” is dumped onto YouTube, Instagram, and websites by the truckload.
