Want to know what all these bass players have in common?
They ALL studied Jazz. Even if they aren’t actually associated with that style.
That’s why every bass player knows that studying Jazz is like a..
But learning Jazz can be hard. Really hard.
Whether you’re trying to learn from YouTube or books, it’s SUPER abstract, and you have no idea where to start.
If only you could find that PERFECT video or book then it would be easier, right?
Wrong!
It gets worse, here’s why.
Even if you do find the right YouTube video or book, you’re still only getting one facet of the complete picture.
So you feel like you’ve got a tiny piece of the jigsaw puzzle, and you’re not even sure what the final puzzle is supposed to look like.
We knew we needed to fix it
We wanted to bring the same 360 degree integrated learning experience you could formerly only get from MUSIC SCHOOL…to online jazz learning.
So we developed a brand new program from the ground up
We applied what we learned developing programs like the massively popular Players Path to develop the first 360-degree-integrated, step-by-step online learning system for jazz bass.
INTRODUCING
The ONLY 360-degree integrated, step-by-step online jazz learning system for bass players.

How it works
This course is structured using our unique 360-degree educational framework, which immerses you in the key skills required to truly develop your voice as a jazz player.
The 5 Areas of Study
What makes the Jazz Accelerator so much easier than learning from jazz books?
The key is exposing you to 5 key facets of jazz in a comprehensive way, without overwhelming you. In the Jazz Accelerator, we use real tunes to introduce the following 5 areas of focus, and keep it fun!
— Soloing & Improv
— Harmony & Theory
— Melody & Interpretation
— Chordal Development
— Accompaniment Skills
Why it works
The Jazz Accelerator gives you 3 things you can’t get anywhere else.
01
A fully-integrated system
The Jazz Accelerator gives you an in-depth 360-degree look at ALL the core skills necessary to develop a voice as a jazz player.
02
Learn by doing
Unlike many jazz books and videos, The Jazz Accelerator uses real jazz tunes as the basis for learning, so you can see your progress as you move from tune-to-tune, and have fun doing it!
03
Sequential Learning
The Jazz Accelerator leverages the sequential learning methodology we developed with Players Path, which is what makes SBL different from any other online learning platform.
What's Inside
18+ hours of detailed step-by-step video instruction
Unlike jazz books, you’ll feel like you’re “in the room” with me whilst I demonstrate every exercise, in high-resolution video, with complete notation.
12 weeks of lessons
The Jazz Accelerator teaches you to learn by doing: we’ll go in-depth into 3 real jazz tunes, spending 4 weeks on each of them, examining them from the full-360 degree approach.
Downloadable play-alongs
For each tune we examine, you’ll have professionally recorded backing tracks, so you’ll be able to track your progress learning the tunes, and also have fun!
Beautifully designed printable workbooks
If you’d rather study something offline, or even read it from a printed page, The Jazz Accelerator gives you downloadable workbooks for every written exercise.

The Course
The Jazz Accelerator uses real jazz tunes as the basis for learning, to simulate the “learning by doing” experience you’d get in music school, show you the 5 key facets of jazz in context, and give you early wins.

- Is this program self paced?
-
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. Whether it’s Marcus Miller, Pino Paladino, or James Jamerson, jazz is the “secret weapon” that great bass players use to decode tunes, play great walking lines, and solo effortlessly.
- If I miss enrollment this time around, when will enrollment reopen?
-
I don’t know when access to this program will be offered again.
If you’re interested, I recommend getting your spot now, knowing you’re protected by my 30-Day 100% money-back guarantee.”
