Hi, I’m Mark J Smith
After 30 years as a professional bass player with a degree from Leeds College Of Music and many years of private and college teaching, I moved into online teaching in 2013.
What started as a YouTube channel has grown into one of the most trusted bass education platforms in the world.
TalkingBass is built around one idea: clear, structured teaching that actually works.
Every course takes you somewhere specific, step by step. Every lesson should feel EASY so you can develop in an effortless, progressive manner.
No endless rabbit holes — just a proper path from where you are to where you want to be.
