Does Anyone Know About "The Bass Zone Formula" Program?

Hey...

I've been looking into the Bass Zone Formula program for a while now and wanted to buy in... but noticed that if I have any questions, their contact page is not found. That makes me Leary! I also thought they had a payment plan using a credit card, but I no longer see this option.

Has anyone bought into this program and can you share your thoughts, if so? I've been studying theory for a couple of years now... but it is slow going and when I read about the Bass Zones Program, it sounded interesting. But money is tight and I know they say they have a money back guarantee... but that could be one of those lies that as soon as they get your money... you know...

And since their contact page is not found... I will not go for their offer unless some one can vouch for this system.

I hate to begrudge any professional musician a source of income, but it must be said:

There are no secrets
There are no tricks
There are no shortcuts

I would afford more cred to those NOT promising to deliver these things

There is only fundamentals and experience applying fundamentals
And the possibility of teaching those things effectively

For $100 I'd shop around more.

Yah... but it could be a better way of teaching the info. I mean, I've been to some instructors where all they care about doing is... showing off or they teach very little so to keep you coming back for a long time.
I have gone to 3 different instructors over the last few years that all made things complicated and found it hard to learn. I do know the major and minor scales and major modes so far, but I need to keep going.

I hate to break this to you. It's complicated and hard to learn.

Have you got a mathematical mind? Music in depth involves a mix of feel and logic which is not easy for many people.

PS, when you say major and minor scales and major modes. Do you mean you know them as a physical shape that you can play, or that you know what they are, how they are constructed and why they are useful?

The first part. But this is what I am talking about. Most instructors teach crap that keeps you coming back to feed their pocket book!

I'll bet you never even bought the course, let alone READ the sales page. I will say that due to your reply, I actually Bought the course and am finding it to be what was promised in the sales page.
Good luck to you and your ways of trying to steer guys into the ditch. Remember... what goes around, comes around!

No I didn't buy the course, or look at the link. I don't think that has anything to do with what my comment - which was specifically replying to a comment that the person found their present instruction complicated and hard to learn.

I am not going to sell somebody a silver bullet that makes theory easy. You can make something easier to convey - but you still need to understand what is being taught.
