Bass for Guitar Players

If you already play guitar, then you're ready to get on the fast track to being really wanted in the world of music: learn the bass! This class will teach right hand fingering technique and will reveal how the bass, working with the drums, provides the foundation for most songs. You'll learn bass lines in different styles, and upon graduation you can receive a $100 discount as a bass player in one of Blue Bear's Band Workshops. After that, regular gigs and touring is definitely an option in a world starved for bass players!
