Every Beginner Bassist Struggles Until They Work This Out

Book Now

You picked up the bass because you love music.

Maybe you've been trying to learn on your own for a few months...

But every time you sit down to practice, you feel lost.

You don't know what to practice, in what order, or if you're even doing it right.

You watch YouTube videos, but each one teaches something different.

One says "learn scales first," another says "just play songs," and another insists you need to master theory.

So you end up jumping around between different approaches, never really building on what you learned yesterday.

Here's what I discovered after teaching bass for a decade:

There are two traps that catch every beginner I've seen who tries to learn bass on their own.

Trap 1: They develop bad habits early that take months to correct later.

You have a lifetime to practice and perfect techniques, but locking in proper foundations early is crucial.

Trap 2: They learn songs by rote on YouTube without understanding the fundamentals.

It's fun for a while, but then they get stuck and have to go back to the start again—like drawing the "return to start" card in a board game.

But here's what I discovered:

You can learn all the fundamentals you need on bass in just 8 weeks with the right guidance from an experienced teacher.

Sarah is proof.

Complete beginner to playing bass lines from Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones—all in 8 weeks of working with me.

The difference?

A clear guided path with me as your personal teacher instead of random YouTube chaos.

Learning bass fundamentals comes down to three things:

✅ Following a logical, step-by-step progression that I design specifically for you

✅ Practicing with songs you love (not boring exercises) that I teach you properly

✅ Getting weekly feedback from me so you don't practice mistakes for weeks

It's not about spending years mastering theory before you can play a song.

And it's definitely not about collecting more YouTube tutorials, hoping one finally clicks.

The real problem?

Most beginners think they're making progress when they learn a song by watching YouTube, but they're actually building a house of cards.

Without proper foundations and an experienced teacher to guide them, every song feels like starting over.

That's why I created my 8-week bass fundamentals program where I personally teach you everything you need to know.

No more guessing what to practice next.

No more wondering if you're doing it right.

No more starting over with each new song.

Just clear, structured lessons with me as your guide, taking you from confused beginner to confident bass player in 8 weeks.

Tom is an amazing teacher, with a great technique, and such a positive and friendly approach.

As a senior - having just retired - I was initially anxious when the lessons stated , having not picked up a bass for nearly 50 years.

He enabled me to overcome my fears, and enjoy making music again.

His structured lessons, are excellent, but have enough flexibility to meet your specific needs and wants.

The confidence he gives you , alongside the progress you make , allows you to have stretching but realistic goals.

I am immensely indebted to him, and wish I had taken lessons with him years earlier.

Recently finished Tom's Beginner Bass Course.

Absolutely fantastic teacher, had me playing basslines right from the first lesson, which I wasn't expected.

Introduced musical theory and techniques through clever use of popular tunes and backed up with timely refresher videos between lessons.

Highly recommend.
