Recomend me: Online Bass Lessons

Sign in to disble this ad
Can anyone recomend me a good site. I googled the term but the sites that I picked did not seem on the level. Preferably something with video footage as I'm more a visual learner than by ear or tab but am getting better at those.

Last year I subscribed to bass camera, I got some good stuff from them over the year but they are not putting anything new up on it and I'm ready to try something else.

If you don't mind a bit of searching, Youtube has a ton of great instructional videos for you to check out. Of course, there are even more useless videos out there, so pick them wisely.

www.activebass.com has some great stuff on there. It has thousands of bass tracks to play along with. I only wish it was in standard notation instead of tab... but I can't really complain, the site is very helpful.

www.musicdojo.com

Has good lessons and really good instructors that you can interact with. It's meant to simulate actually taking one-on-one lessons in person.

+1 musicdojo.

I have taken several of their courses. They are well worth the money.

Plus, you can take a short intro course for FREE.

studybass.com is a great site. It teaches you everything properly. Musically. In my opinion it's brilliant

I recommend Cliff Engel. If you want a personalized program and an experienced teacher to help you realize your goals, you can definitely find those things in Cliff. He has video options as well.

Music Dojo looks pretty cool, if any of the courses they offer appeal to you then it couldn't hurt to check it out.

Finally there's Berklee online which is a little more pricey but you can see if they offer anything you're interested in.
