GBI've been playing bass for years I've been playing bass for years, but only by learning each song note for note. After taking Ari's "Pattern System for Bass" class WITH book, I'm able to figure out songs by ear, play without looking and fingering is far more efficient and comfortable. Ari's teaching model seems to take a very simple bass exercise and build it into a familiar groove, then layer in your own notes. I've taken other bass courses and learned their songs and theory. Ms Cap showed me how to work the fretboard > and that's priceless!

GBAri's is the place When you join this blog, you will find a series of well thought out sessions on various aspects of playing the bass guitar. there are also several more advanced courses regarding music theory that, for me, have clarified points that I've just faked my way around up until now. Customer service is excellent. From musical questions to some technical difficulties getting my Zoom account connected, Ari and her people have always been patient and helpful. If you have any interest in learning to play bass or improving your technique or knowledge, I definitely recommend Ari's Bass Blog

GBClasses are fun and present lots of things to learn and apply. After only a few lessons with Ari I've learned a lot of new things to apply in my playing. The classes have also re-sparked my enthusiasm for practicing and playing. Ari has a fun and easygoing teaching style, and each lesson presents many new ideas and concepts to work on. Very glad I became a member!
