How long does it take to complete the course?
That depends a lot on how long you’ve been playing for. If you’re an advanced bassist, the course might only take you a few weeks. If you’re newer to bass then it’ll probably take a few months or more. What I can guarantee is that it’ll save you thousands of hours of searching around online because I’ve studied hundreds of bass lines and solos and distilled them into clear, bite-size lessons that guide you on your journey.
