From a complete beginner level, I would recommend the following set of courses to begin with:

  • Beginner Bass Guitar
  • Bassic Fundamentals
  • Groove Trainer For Bass
  • Technique Builder
  • The Creative Bassist

Beyond these courses you can move into more focused study. I would recommend:

  • Chord Tone Essentials
  • Scale Essentials

Chord tones should always be studied before scales.

Simple Steps To Sight Reading is a huge course devoted to reading music for bass. You can begin that course at any point after Bassic Fundamentals. It should be studied alongside all other courses and will provide lesson material for many years.

Simple Steps To Walking Bass, Slap Bass and Chordal Mastery are style based courses you can take at any point as a supplement if you want to follow those styles/techniques.

The Classical Study courses are aimed at intermediate level players and will greatly improve your technique and harmony knowledge.

Ultimate Music Theory For Bass is a deep dive into music theory for those of you looking to study from beginner theory all the way through to degree level .It is less practical than some of the other courses and features tests after every lesson. You will learn the basics of theory (intervals/scales etc) through to advanced Jazz harmony. It is degree level study for a fraction of the price. I would also recommend this course for any players looking to study at a music college.
