With Volume 4, we're into serious musicianship:

  • Now you're going to cover modes and how to use them to create bass lines and solo licks, and learn how to transpose into any key.
  • You'll learn major and minor pentatonic scales and how to build an entire system of scales up and down the neck, spicing them up with sequences and four-note chords.
  • Finally, you'll also discover legenday bass players themselves: Roy's going to introduce you to plyaing 2-handed tapping chords and bass lines simultaneously in the styles of bass legends Victor Wooten, Stu Hamm, and Roscoe Beck.

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.
