I’ve been teaching bass for over 20 years, and over that time, I have worked with thousands of students from beginners through to full-time touring professionals.

The number one thing I do when watching a new student play for the first time is to assess their technique. It’s the foundation on which we’re going to build everything else. And if we don’t get the foundation right, nothing we build on top of it will be right!

The problem is most students view THEIR technique as one thing. it IS not.

Your technique is made of multiple elements. And to develop world-class bass technique, you have to work on each component separately and then bring it all together in a precise way and exact order.

My 26-week Bass Technique Accelerator Program is one of the most powerful programs I’ve ever created. In the Program, I’ll tell you exactly what to practice and how long to practice - every single week, for half a year.

The Accelerator Program is all about giving you a clear path and a clear focus. I’ve removed all the noise and distractions to get you laser-focused for your best year of bass ever.

INTRODUCING

A 26-week journey that will eradicate your chronic technique issues, and allow you to break through to the next level. All in as little as 20-minutes-a-day.

YOUR WEEKLY BASS TEACHER:

I will be your personal bass teacher for 26 weeks (over half a year, whoop!) and will be helping you master the fundamental building block of your bass playing - your technique. Plus, I’ll be answering your questions on every lesson throughout the program, personally!

NO MORE CONFUSION!

When you become a student in my 26-week Bass Technique Accelerator Program, you’ll be able to stop worrying about what to practice next. Each week you’ll get one brand-new lesson containing your assignment where I tell you exactly how much time to spend on each specific exercise.

MY BIG PROMISE

It’s my mission to give you a simple, clear plan over the next 26 weeks that will not only rebuild your bass technique as you know it but will also push your abilities on the bass way beyond what you ever thought possible. My 26-week Bass Technique Accelerator Program is your path to playing more musical grooves, being able to play bass fills and runs without your technique letting you down. The Accelerator Program is your opportunity to finally sound the way you’ve always dreamed you could.

THIS IS not just another course.

This is not just a course like we have in the Membership. Don’t get me wrong our Membership courses are great. This is longer and more in-depth.

Weekly
lessons

What our students say...

One of the best decisions I made this year was to enrol in your technique class. I can definitely note the changes that are happening to my playing. When I go back and rehearse songs for my band or at gigs, I can see how these exercises are making my playing more focused and fluid.”

- Ron

Many thanks! This is The best thing I have done in my playing. I am seeing improvement every week at my gigs. Awesome program!!!”

Life-changer! After struggling for years to understand how to practice and what to practice I now have focus and direction. It's been big AhHa moment after moment, a mind-blowing, opening, and expansive experience. I've already experienced huge growth in bass and as a musician as a result from your guidance and this is just the beginning.

FAQ

When does the course start and finish?: You'll have access to all of the content as soon as you enroll - but take your time!
How long do I have access to the course?: Is lifetime access good for you, because that works for us
Are the lessons live?: No. But we have included six Live seminars with Scott Devine from our archive which were first released during a previous enrollment of this program - free to you as a bonus.
How long is each lesson?: Lessons average around 30 minutes per lesson with 4 specific exercises provided for each. It is recommended that you practice each exercise for 5 minutes a day, 4-5 days a week.
What if I am unhappy with the program?: The Technique Accelerator is backed by my no-questions-asked, 30-day guarantee — which is now trusted by over 70,000 bass players like you from around the globe.

That means if the lessons in The Technique Accelerator don’t help you transform your technique better than anything you’ve ever tried, just send one quick email to our friendly support team here in the UK within 30 days of your enrollment.

We’ll return every cent you paid. And we’ll even eat the credit card processing fees.
Is this program self paced?: Yes. We advise that you start a new module each week to keep focused and help to reduce overwhelm. Through our research, we’ve found that this leads to a much better learning experience for our students.

That said, this is a self-paced course. So depending on your level of bass playing right now, you may want to spend a few weeks on each module, and in some cases even more time. It all depends on how fast you want to work through the materials and how much practice time you’ve got.

So in a nutshell, the pace and intensity of this program is totally customisable to your specific needs.
Is this program for beginners?: If you're a total beginner, this program is not for you. You should be able to play the instrument already and have a basic understanding of things like arpeggios and scales.

Be that as it may, if you're anything other than a total beginner, you will find this accelerator valuable.
Who is this program not for?: If you're the kind of bass player who's not willing to practice their craft and expects to get better by simply watching more and more videos hoping that it'll raise their game, this program is not for you.
Does this program work for all styles of music?: Absolutely! This program is a complete methodology that will work for any style of music.
