I'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!

Nurture your inner bass player! Great web site for learning to play bass guitar. Be inspired, educated and most importantly have fun discovering your bass groove. Lots of videos, information and networking with other aspiring bass players. Learn about the culture of bass and who’s who in the bass world.

I love how her into, intermediate and advance practice sessions follow the same format each week with different levels of theory, technique and application. Missed a live session? No problem, all the videos are posted for streaming at your own time convenience. I’ve looked at a lot of online bass lessons over the years and this is the by far the best!

Great teacher, great community Ari is a great bass teacher with a personal touch. I've greatly enjoyed her lessons and the online player community she has built.

A talented teacher A talented teacher as well as a talented bassist. The teaching materials get straight down to business (no waffle) and are extremely well thought out. Can thoroughly recommend this website as the perfect starting point for continuing your bass journey no matter what level you're currently at.

Ari is a masterful educator Ari is a masterful educator, I find. What a pleasure it is to practice with clear goals and structure. "You don't know your limits," I recall Ari said once, and she proves this true. I feel much stronger as a bassist in every way for this experience. I recommend arisbassblog to all my bassist friends.
