  5. I’m really enjoying the course. Todd’s presence is really calm and I don’t feel like I’m rushed into anything ~ P Campion
  6. It touches on some interesting fundamentals on how to observe and feel music. The small explanations on improvising and the scale seen throughout the course seem simple at first glance but it's amazing how much it can be applied into more complex things ~ V Herrera

  10. I'm loving the video explanations, seeing things visually really helps me understand the concepts being taught. Todd's voice is calming and easy to listen to which makes going through the course enjoyable ~ H Palmer
  11. I love how you cover all the basics & don't assume we know, great and thanks for details ~ G Bates
  12. This was a GREAT way for me to get started. lots of good info, instruction and the practice videos. Months later, after working through the whole course, I am still coming back and reviewing the lessons and practice videos. Now that some of the earlier ones are a bit easier for me, they make great warm-ups. I plan to continue coming back to this course to review and enhance for some time to come ... thank you! ~ D Schlatter
  13. Awesome, who doesn't know me thinks I am a good bass player, really got me into wanting to learn it well. Video was very well done and very instructive ~ A Moreira
  14. Where I’m coming from: 1. I have some music education where I never felt I learnt anything though I did play some instruments. 2. I never tried playing the bass before. Being quite a nervous person and unable to even start on things I already don’t know, I could give this guy an olympic medal for making me feel like I have already achieved greatness just for holding the bass guitar- it allowed me to over come my block and proceed further. Todd speaks slow but don’t be deceived by his only apparent sleepiness! - this is a highly intellectual man who designed a very accessible and multifaceted course, to start you on your journey. He gets down to his knees, looks you in the eye and says with the biggest conviction- “I’ll get you there, man. If you can’t walk yourself, I’ll carry you.” I have never experienced such an egoless and thoughtful tuition. Just Fantastic. A true beginners course- don’t forget to practice! ~ L Lore
