What if you could stop worrying about what to practice?

Ever get "Practice Anxiety?"
You’ve got your normal “routine”, but you constantly feel like maybe there’s something else you should be practicing instead.

You feel "in a rut"...
But you worry that if you change it up, maybe you’ll realize that the old routine was serving you better. Besides, aren’t you supposed to focus on one thing for a long time to get better? How are you supposed to do that when there’s so much to learn?

Oh, and you never have enough time
And it’s not like the existing bass teaching content is making it any better.

Scott Devine
There are bass instructionals on everything you can think of, but nothing on how to structure your practice time to get 10x the results.

In fact, the sheer abundance of things to practice just makes the anxiety worse.

I used to feel the same way!

When I was younger, I’d decide “this is the week I’m working on walking basslines!” Then I’d get bored, or frustrated, then something else would come along: maybe slap-bass.

A week later, I’d decide I was sick of the whole enterprise, and maybe I just needed a new P-Bass.

I’d hear stories about my heroes practicing 4, 5, even 6 hours-a-day, and think “maybe I have to do that.”

But all I’d end up practicing were the same warmups…the same scales and arpeggios… and the same exercises out of books. It was hard to tell if anything was working, and I was constantly frustrated.

Gradually, I discovered a few key principles that helped alleviate the stress. After years of refining, I could finally look back on the way I used to practice and see where I’d gone wrong:

  • I’d assumed I needed to practice everything equally. In reality, just a small subset of things ended up being the things that really moved me forward.

  • I hadn’t given any thought to how long to practice something before moving on. Gradually, I learned a system for knowing.

  • I’d approached everything at random, rather than setting specific goals.

Now I want to offer that system to you.

I have never seen a program that is so complete. Before, I didn't even know where to start and what to study first. It was like I was lost in a big forest going round in circles. Now I've made more progress in the last two months than I did in 1 year.

What if you had a system to tell you what to focus on?

When you become a student in The Practice Accelerator you’ll be able to finally stop worrying about what to practice next. Each and every week you’ll get one brand-new module containing your assignment for that week, and I’m even going to tell you exactly how much time to spend on each specific exercise.

But it’s not just exercises. I’ll be giving you the system that will allow you to practice better forever.

MY BIG PROMISE:

At the end of 8 weeks...

  • You won’t feel confined to just a few things you’re practicing over-and-over: you’ll have a system to determine where to go next.

  • You won’t worry if you “don’t have enough time”, because you’ll know that the things you are practicing are the best things to move you forward, even if you only have 30-minutes-a-day.

  • And you won’t feel unfocussed, because what you’re working on will be interesting, challenging, and relevant.

LEARNING AT YOUR OWN PACE

If you fall behind because of other commitments, I get it… I have 2 kids! That’s why when you sign up to The Practice Accelerator, you’re going to get lifetime access to the entire program!

DIRECT SUPPORT

Below each video lesson there’ll be a questions section, so the SBL team and I will support you every step of the way by giving you personalised support for that specific lesson. If you hit a roadblock - we’ll be there for you!

THE ULTIMATE PRACTICE PROGRESSION PACKAGE

$97 VALUE!

Professionally Produced Play-Alongs:

10x professionally produced play-alongs that you’re going to use when practicing the topics and exercises covered within the 8 week Practice Accelerator Program.

Each play-along track has been recorded by the best of the best musicians so you’re going to finally get the chance to play bass within a world-class rhythm section. This experience alone will be amazing for your bass playing.

Harmonic Analysis Video Lessons:

With each of the 10 play-along tracks you also get a harmonic analysis video tutorial where you’ll hear us talking through the piece of music, discussing how and why the chords work, what scales and substitutions can be used and way, way more! It’s going to be like going to a college professor and having them personally explain a piece of music you’re trying to learn (all of this ties in directly with what you’ll be learning in Module 7 of the Practice Accelerator Program).

Each piece has been specifically chosen because of its harmonic structure and we’ve grouped them in to, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Ultimate. I’m removing ALL of the guess work and giving you everything you’re going to need.

INDIVIDUAL WORKSHEETS:

Each of the pieces comes with a detailed PDF worksheet so you can follow along with the analysis lessons and even print them out so you can use them away from your computer or tablet.

Reviews

This has been an amazing program! As someone who played on, and off for many years, but never had a good teacher, or organized method I had tons of holes in my understanding and playing. This was the perfect remedy, and the improvement has been awesome. I also now had a solid idea of my path for future development, and what to work on each day.
Suzanne Cook

Eye opener - so much of my practice time was wasted in any given practice. Now with the 80/20 technique and the steps you laid out, it feels so much more productive. This course has been a great help to my overall playing Scott, Thank you so much for this course. YOU'RE AN AMAZING TEACHER!

FAQ

When does the course start and finish?
This accelerator program will be delivered in 8 weekly modules provided every Monday starting April 20, 2020 - taking our last module in this program all the way to June 8, 2020 .
What if I am unhappy with the course?
We offer a 30-day money back guarantee to make sure our students are happy with the lessons and practice exercises, and if not we’re happy to refund you.
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.
How long do I have to enroll?
Enrollment is now closed
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.
How much time do I need to commit?
To get the absolute maximum from this program we recommend 30 minutes per day practice time (4-5 days per week). If you have less than that, you will still get great results, but things will take a little longer.
Who's NOT right for this program?
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.
Can I enroll in this and Scott's 26 Week Technique Accelerator Program?
Absolutely. It works in perfect harmony with the technique accelerator and will show you how to construct the ideal practice routine to use along side any of Scott's Accelerator programs. This means you'll be getting the absolute maximum out of the practice time you have and not chasing shiny objects that will ultimately hinder your progress. The Practice Accelerator is also a complete method of study, and although the program is 8 weeks long, the lessons taught within it include exercises you will use for life - not just the 8 week period. On top of that, as a student you also get lifetime access to the program, so you can study in your own time, and at your own pace.
