TrueFire - online video courses

#3
I downloaded a few (including one on blues bass). This one is more of a survey of lines from classic tunes, the idea being if you find yourself in a blues jam, these are what you need to know---shuffles, walking patterns, etc. I put it down for awhile but I may have to revisit it now that you mention it. There are menu options to adjust things to your liking, and to slow down etc. I can recommend checking it out! They have some really good deals and free bonus stuff like buy one/get one from time to time.

p.s. I only buy individual courses for download and practice off line. I don't have experience with their premium service like streaming and personal instruction and live stuff.

Some of the actual courses are pretty good, Such as those by Kai Eckhardt, Ari Cap, Stu Hamm or Andrew Ford. The "collections" of idiomatic bass lines can be good, too, as I liked the one by Teymur Phell.
Everything is super nicely produced, and when you buy a course you can download it AND have access to online version as well.
I guess going for all access could be rather overwhelming and might lead to spreading yourself thin with practicing a lot of nothing really.

I’ve bought and used several. There really well done and you can always revisit and learn something. Especially when times are slow like they are now. I just downloaded the pentatonic playground and it’s got some cool info in it. Most of it I already know/knew but it’s all good to play with anyway.
