About this course

Roy received the first masters of music in electric bass degree ever awarded. Since then, he's been touring the world and working with the best musicians around. Today, he's one of the most respected bassists & educators in the international community - some of his students have gone on to tour and record with artists like Trisha Yearwood, Faith Hill, Michael W. Smith, Lady Antebellum, Chick Corea, Sir Tom Jones and countless other music icons.

Roy Vogt's multi award-winning Teach Me Bass Guitar (TMBG) series is the most comprehensive, effective, and entertaining course of self-paced bass guitar instruction anywhere.

If you've been playing bass for some time, TMBG will sharpen your skill, deepen your understanding of music and expand your repertoire.

Volume 3 is all about discovering different styles on the bass and exploring the neck:

Get funky with slapping and popping in a style played to this day by bassists like Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten.
Learn finger style funk and inject funkiness into your playing using your fingers.
Go up and down the neck
Challenge yourself with the walking bassline - a staple of jazz and swing, also found in blues, country and Gospel.

Each lesson in this course can take up to a month to master - that means to own the principles and techniques taught in the lesson and be able to interpret them flawlessly on the bass guitar. Lessons start with a brief summary of what you're about to cover, and a warm-up. Then there's a lesson and a practice sessions, then band practice - Roy structured the lessons to give you plenty of time to play with an awesome band of Nashville's finest musicians. These are real jam sessions designed to work your chops. The lessons end with some down stretches and a recap.

Meet the Guru

Roy Vogt

Roy Vogt's career spans an extraordinary range of stages, from MTV's Headbanger's Ball, the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Montreal Jazz Festival to the London Palladium, the Grand Ole Opry and the Kremlin. From punk to funk, the simplicity of country and blues to the complexity of HyperJazz and World Beat, he has played it all.

Roy was the first person to receive a Master's degree in Electric Bass Performance, from the University of Miami's prestigious music school, and has been pursuing the art of bass for more than forty years. He has mentored dozens of successful professionals, including the legendary Willie Weeks. Electric, fretless, upright - you name it: if it plays low notes and has strings, Roy is a master at playing it, and at teaching others to do the same.

Over his four-decade career, Roy has recorded or performed with an amazing list of top stars, including Larry Coryell, Victor Wooten, Dave Weckl, Tom Scott and the LA Express, Chester Thompson, Miroslav Vitous, Glen Campbell, BJ Thomas, Chet Atkins, Engelbert Humperdinck, Dickey Betts, Tony Joe White, Charlie Daniels, Jerry Reed, and dozens more.

Roy has been teaching at university level for thirty years. Since 1983 he has held the Bass Professor chair at prestigious Belmont University (Nashville, TN), one of the very few schools to offer a commercial music degree program designed to turn students into professional musicians working at the top of the industry. Roy's students have toured and recorded with notable stars such as Trisha Yearwood, Faith Hill, Little Texas, Michael W. Smith, Lady Antebellum, Chick Corea, Sir Tom Jones, Blood Sweat and Tears, Yanni, and countless other music icons.

His Teach Me Bass Guitar series brings that same university-level approach to you, taking you from a complete beginner's quick start (vol. 1), through rhythm fundamentals (vol. 2), finding your own style (vol. 3) and serious musicianship (vol. 4), all the way to a pro-player toolkit (vol. 5), so you build real skills step by step.
