Welcome to BassEducation
You made it, Damian.
128 lessons, 5 modules, 3 paths, 7 records to play along with — and a Live Q&A with me on the 1st of every month. Watch the welcome video below, then pick a path. Or wander. There’s no wrong way to be here.

Reverse-engineered around your goals.
01For players going deep on changes
The Jazz
Bassist.
Always improvising. Striving to be in the moment, choosing what you play based on what’s happening around you.

02For players ready to take the solo
The
Soloist.
Don’t treat soloing as separate from your playing. How you approach one is an extension of the other.

03For players who want to work
The Freelance
Musician.
A blend of the jazz musician and the pocket player. The path I latched onto, because I wanted to WORK.
