High Quality Courses In Jazz Bass?

I am on the last few classes. I am glad I purchased the lifetime membership as it has taken me a bit longer than 2-years! The course has been great, but requires a pretty significant investment of time. I fully plan on going back and reworking some of the class material in the months ahead. Price wise it was not cheap, but for me well worth the investment. My playing improved greatly. If you decide to buy the course get it on sale. Joe puts his course on sale a few times a year. His books are also very good.

How many hours a week practice do you think is needed to keep up?
 
Really depends on where you are in your playing and how much time you want to spend on each lesson. Joe always recommends practicing every lesson in all keys. If you do this you can easily spend a week on each lesson ( depending how much time you devote). I was able to do 1 hour every day consistently. That is not a lot of time but I spent a lot of time on specific lessons and ended up taking more time than 2-years.
