Inside the Course

Over 2.5 Hours of Lessons

  • Chord Symbols

    We'll look at chord charts, in both the classic style and self-made "cheat sheets" for recording sessions and gigs.

  • Bass Lines

    A basic understanding of the fretboard and simple rhythms will get you moving through most charts you're presented with for every-day gigs.

  • Melodies

    Occasionally, we have to be ready to play a melodic fragment, perhaps in unison with another instrument. Get some tips on how not to freeze up when this happens.
