Beginners Bass - Five sessions - May 2025

Course Overview 

A comprehensive introduction to the bass but with added real world application benefits that are in place to add rocket boosters to your rate of progression. 

You'll be working with Dio, our gifted bass tutor, and a group of other players at the early stages of their four stringed adventure. 

You'll then be given the keys to The Guitar Social network, made up of hundreds of guitar players, vocalists and drummers, spread out across our classes, jams and events, providing you with the perfect platform to get out there and put in place what you've learnt with real people. 

At the end of the course, you're given the opportunity to play live at our legendary end of term performances.

What guitar to bring 

You'll need a bass of any description. If it has four strings, it's good enough. 

If you don't own a bass, but you own a six string you can use that as a temporary measure. 

We're not able to provide amplifiers, but portable practice amps, such as the Blackstar fly series, start at £50
