+1 on this. Constantine is a huge resource and from everything I’ve seen an awesome guy too. Fellow Canuck in addition!

A bass educator that I feel is overlooked, and one that I used extensively when first learning back in 2020 is Andrew Pouska/Study Bass. Not neccessarily a YT'er although he does have a channel. His website, studybass.com is full of organized lessons especially for beginner through intermediate players. Most of it free although I was a supporter while going through the complete course. I learn as much by reading as I do by seeing and doing and much of the course is reading material. I still go back to review things from time to time.

Not a YouTube resource, and keyboard-focused, but still quite interesting and useful: Magical Music Theory Tools to Learn Music Online for Free

Ear training is the thing that I had been neglecting for way too long during the earlier years of playing, especially transcribing songs etc. Things would have been so much better now if I hadn't... For those who are in the same boat, this is a very nice introduction to the process.

Well, this one is essentially a whole clinic. You may or may not dig the genre, but there is quite a bit of solid advice, regardless of the music style you play.

I don't know if you can call him overlooked because he just hit 100K subscribers, but Dan Hawkins' Online Bass Lessons have been amazing for me. I usually only see BassBuzz or Scott's Bass Lessons mentioned, but Dan has tons of free videos on his YT that are so full of information with little to no filler whatsoever. I'll watch other bass videos to be entertained, but when I want to seriously learn I go to Dan Hawkins' YT or courses.

This guy seems to have been around for a few years, but I've just discovered him. A lot of great content!

Agreed! Very high quality instruction here.
There really is no excuse for me being so mediocre!

Philip Conrad, and that I don't know any bass players, are why I started playing bass.

Fodera has the videos of several clinics done by several of their artists.

Andy Cichon on music business and lot of practical aspects of being a professional bass player.


Ant Wellington on bass modes - one badass beast of a lesson!


Lincoln Goines on rhythm feel and reading charts.

Love that Anthony Wellington Video. I got to spend a day taking him around London about 15 years ago and got to ask him a lot of questions and play two of his Fodera's which I carried the whole time. hahah. He was such a legend! Amazing Bassist and Human!

For some reason, all of his videos from the last year have been removed.

Just came across this fellow- great communicator and a fresh look at some basic ideas!

Use for inspiration.
Many of the how-to videos can be poor though
