thebigyin Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Just started the course, been in a musical rut for awhile now and wanted to challenge and push myself and stay focused on something....2 years of hardwork ahead....I have looked at several Academy Sites and Bass Tutorial Sites and most do a lot of meaningless lessons and rely on guest Bassist seminars to boost there ratings....I want one to one Theory and Musical content and Joe seems to be the man for Bass Education no bullxxxx, hope i'm right and it turns out a sound investment, wasn't cheap nearly £500 but for 2 years of weekly emailed lessons plus access to Joe's Lesson Lounge with over 70 lessons if you break it down it's a great investment and I needed a focus and want to get into Theory in a hope that I can maybe teach others in the future....fingers crossed and here's hoping I achieve my ambition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jassthebass Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I am about half way through it & have to say it's the best money I've spent. In some ways I wish I'd recognised the importance of the course & purchased it sooner than I actually did. I purchased the lifetime version which paid dividends for me because last year I broke my hand & had to rest it for a few months (That sucks). If you watch each video more than once & practice the content properly I don't think you'll regret the money you've spent. In addition, I have also paid for a lifetime version of his 2-5-1 advanced course for me follow on when I've finished the 2 year one.

Daz39 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Joe has a thread on here where he took (takes?) theory questions. He’s so knowledgeable, patient and explains things even a theory muppet like me can grasp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adios Does joe go through tunes on this course or is it predominantly exercise based? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jassthebass Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Hi Oliver Rather than saying it’s exercise based I’d say it’s music based which to me is much more interesting than ‘exercises’. There are tons of penny dropping moments that can applied to your own everyday musical lives. With that said there are a few tunes & licks along the way too. In addition, nothing is in tab therefore as an added bonus one's reading gets better as you go through the course. From what I’ve seen the 2-5-1 course focuses more on tunes. jason 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
