BIG announcement! 👇🏻👇🏻
After months of work I’m officially releasing my most comprehensive and ambitious bass course! bassmasters.co/
It’s called Mastering The Masters and there’s 10 lessons that each cover the techniques and secrets of the world’s most legendary bassists.
It’s a very personal course to me because, back in 2012 I was feeling completely stuck for years and had no idea how to go from an intermediate to an advanced bassist.
But then I met Jim Stinnett at Berklee College of Music, and he would demonstrate and break down the language and techniques of bassists like Victor Wooten, Flea and Cliff Burton into bite-size chunks. I’d practise these chunks every day along with backing tracks until I could play them perfectly.
I want you to have that same clarity so I’ve put together a course that reveals each bassist’s favourite licks, breaks down their signature playing techniques, explains their harmonic vocabulary and a lot more.
As an added bonus, during my launch week I'm offering the course at 50% OFF
Just click here and I’ll see you there! bassmasters.co/

My fellow bassists,

I'm keeping the styles fairly broad to give each one a fair chance! Comment if your favourite style isn't listed!
This interview with Scott's Bass Lessons just came out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrHBD...
We talk about everything from technique to content creation and how to get started on fretless bass - check it out!

This comment really struck a chord with me...
I know how frustrating it can be to realize that you've believed a lie for a long time. It's especially annoying when someone told you that lie when you were a child or teenager and didn't know any better. We can live so many years with a false belief that holds us back from doing things we love.
The truth is that every aspect of music can be mastered. Some of us might pick it up more quickly and enjoy it more than others, but we can all make huge improvements if we practise the right exercises for enough hours.
I'm so glad Alexander found BassCamp and that my exercises helped him! If you want to have a look around what the BassCamp Patreon has to offer, you can do a free trial here: www.patreon.com/CharlesBerthoud
Hope you find it helpful, have a great day!

Fun and effective bass lessons that'll take your playing to PRO level!
My fellow bassists - Charles Berthoud here. Over the last 20 years, I've played bass on more than 2000 songs, 500 live performances and built a social media community with over 2 million followers.
But it took me 20 YEARS.
I've loved every step of the journey but looking back, I could have learned this instrument much more quickly, without diminishing the quality of my playing.
So I've made it my mission to teach you how to play this beautiful instrument and save you years of work. In a fun and musical way, I'll condense tens of thousands of hours of experience into bite-size chunks that will illuminate the path towards bass mastery.
Start your journey today at BassCamp!
