Who has the best online lessons nowadays?

Ok, since my post a few days ago I have had an opportunity to check out Jon Liebman's site as well as SCOTTSBASSLESSONS.COM. Of the two, I would go with Scott's. It's simply a much more comprehensive site that in my opinion would help players of various stages in their development. Liebman's stuff has a no refund policy and while there is some value there, I think the lessons are better suited to someone who can actually play a little. In other words, it's not a beginner site. More directed at intermediate level players. Just my very humble opinion....

Thanks for the mention. In addition to the advanced stuff, I've got categories called "Easy," "Bassics," "Scales & Theory" and plenty of lessons that aren't overly challenging. I invite you to check them all out!

Just my opinion but it may have been more prudent of you to simply talk about what you feel your lessons bring to the table rather than picking out comments that I made which I clearly stated were only my personal opinions. Thanks for thinking of me though!
 
Online lessons provide a wonderfully substantive way of learning bass. Teaching styles vary immensely as we all tend to gravitate and learn best from a particular style of teaching, subsequently assimilating information in a user friendly way. Recommend checking out what's going on at JamPlay. Clarity and a variety of teaching styles are present from the numerous teachers already on board. Scope out some lessons on YouTube to check us out. There's a wide assortment of teaching styles present and many topics being taught. Bottom line, if a teacher and lessons motivate you to practice, that's a good fit. There's so much great teaching going on online at the present. Berklee Online, scottsbasslessons, Norm Stockton to name a few sites already mentioned in this thread provide excellent teaching.There are many cats out there providing quality awesome stuff.
Best advice is to sample a lesson and see if it moves you to practice. The art of self discovery is your best teacher. Only you can figure out what is the best fit.
 
Here's a tip for online and DVD learners: Don't forget that most internet browsers and media players have the ability to speed up or slow down playback. For example, if you are listening to online Scott or anyone talk, you can listen at 1.5+ speed, still understand, and save time. Stop for notes as it will distort the tone.
