What course after BassBuzz?

Then that teacher wasn’t right for you I guess. Not every teacher is the same….

This is why I don’t like the popular advice that in-person lessons are always better than online. It’s not easy to find a good teacher, especially if you don’t live in a big city with a thriving music scene.

Hey all,

I picked up a base 4 months ago after failing to really learn the instrument close to 20 years ago. I bought and took the BassBuzz course and finished it in 3 months. I can't say enough good things about Josh and his instruction style, it was exactly what I wanted. I'm now doing his 50 Song Challenge (which is increasingly more challenging, and that's good), but I find myself adrift otherwise. I want to learn more but doing so on my own is difficult as I'm going in different directions without a lesson plan.

I originally purchased the "Professional Bass Masterclass" by Rajiv Narang on Udemy, but it's a bit of a mess and definitely not good instruction for beginners. I stopped it about a third way in and that's when I switched to BassBuzz (and glad I did). I'm going through Rajiv's class again now and it's making more sense, but it's disorganized and just throwing information at me without much of a practice plan.

So, what would you guys recommend I take next? I need some sort of structure. I don't lack motivation, but this is a HUGE subject field and going down random rabbit holes isn't really working for me.

I've looked at a bunch of the TalkingBass content on YouTube (the free stuff) and it looks promising. I could spend some time just going through his various playlists, but I don't know if that's "structured" enough? How is his paid content? Is there a clear progression with the material building on itself, like BassBuzz? If so, which of his courses should I be considering?

I also checked out Scott's Bass Lessons (again, the free stuff on YouTube), but I get the sense he's tailored towards more advanced players. Does he offer classes you'd consider for a low-intermediate player like myself?

I've also glanced at The Bass Wizard as I like Marcelo and his YouTube reviews, plus he's into heavier stuff like I am. Not sure how his Beginner class would overlap with what I already learned at BassBuzz and/or if it would teach me enough new things?

Other ideas welcome. I'm not against spending money on something that will help me continue my growth.

Sounds like you’re at that classic “post-course” stage where structure matters most. BassBuzz gives a great foundation, but after that you kind of have to build your own path.
TalkingBass is probably your best next step if you want something structured — his paid courses are much more organized than the YouTube content. Scott’s Bass Lessons can be useful too, but it’s easy to get lost there without a clear plan.
Honestly, combining a structured course with learning full songs and maybe some basic theory practice would keep you progressing without feeling scattered.
