"Thanks to these easy to follow videos, my bass playing has changed completely. I thought I was an OK player, these videos have opened up my eyes to a whole new area. Rock on!"
Tim Whale - Cambridgeshire, UK
"Thanks for all the help and advice so far, i've only just started playing bass and thanks to you i'm already fairly decent. I'm in a band with four of my closest friends, starting practice soon and we're playing for 200 people plus in October. Scary stuff.

I'll be sticking with your lessons and will keep in touch. Thanks again"
Arran Wilson
"I can’t afford private lessons on my pay but I can follow your instructions really easily and last night for the first time I played something that sounded tuneful (if a bass can be described that way). I am over the moon. Thanks Tom and looking forward to learning more."
Jess Hartley - Salisbury, Wiltshire
