So cool and motivating to read this 
A part of me also doesn’t want to finish the course, but well I can always run it again

I first picked up a bass at the end of January of 2025. I was a “band geek” in HS and played the alto sax. Haven’t now touched an instrument since HS graduation almost 40 years ago! I decided that I want to do something for fun that I can share with my wife (she hates golf) since she’s a guitar player. I also had this desire to play bass in your church worship team. So, apparently marching band gave me the gift of rhythm … so let’s try a bass. Borrowed a bass from friends whose kid played then went off to college. Now what to do as far as lessons? I went to Guitar Center and saw they wanted $185 for an hour. Not in the budget. Books are boring for music. Searched online and a few came up. For some reason B2B looked very good and with all of the guarantees, I figured I was going to try it. Day One was 2-4-25 and I graduated today. What a GREAT course!
The whole thing was well-organized. The module followed by three reps of workouts was PERFECT. Really the only thing that flustered me was when Josh talked about fretting (use your middle here and then pinky, etc) … my brain turned to mush. My literal ONLY suggestion is to have a 10s forward/back clicker to help replay. Maybe I can’t find that on my iPad (would be typical of me).
This is truly a STEAL of epic proportions for the price! Josh is clearly a gifted teacher. I can’t say how great the mix of theory and actual playing works together. The aforementioned wife is a self-taught guitar player and we were jamming with a friend who is a professional guitarist … I’m asking things like “oh, is this diatonic” or “can I just riff with a major or minor triad here?” My wife is looking at me like I have 7 heads while the pro friend is like “wow, yeah - let’s do this …” AMAZING!
I am SO full of bass knowledge for only being a little over 2 months into my journey.
As about 1000 others have said … there needs to be a second course! GREAT WORK JOSH & TEAM!!!

On a computer, the arrow keys do that. Have you tried double tapping one side or the other of the screen like you do with YouTube to rewind/advance?
Around here, I think that’s the price for a MONTH of weekly lessons. So more like $50/hour.

Yep. You are correct. I just went online and looked. I guess what confused me was when I originally looked at the computer at the counter it said “30 MIN LESSONS (cost) and 60 MIN LESSONS (cost).” Likely the employee cheat sheet. Either way, it pushed me straight into Bass Buzz when I got home!! And THANKS for the iPad help! You can tell I’m clearly not a YouTube “badass!” HAHA. Wow … I will use that for my 2nd pass through the B2B class. Appreciate the assist!
I did in-person lessons through a local School of Rock at the same time I was starting B2B. I was getting a LOT more out of B2B at a fraction of the cost.

It’s those damn onion ninjas again
I completed Beginner to Badass a while back, and I finally finished making a comprehensive YouTube review of the course. There is a lot of info in my review, so I think it would be worth watching if anyone is on the fence about buying the course. Josh asked me to post this here, and I’m happy to do so.

Hey @NickJoslin - I love this!
Thanks for taking the time to document all the steps.
My favorite take away from your video is the final jam you play.
The message (that I see, anyway) is - yes, show me how to play the bass and give me the tools…
Because I want to play music that I love (and that rocks with fat distortion!!!)!
Cool to see how it launches you onto the thing you want to do!
All the best to you on your adventures.

After finding the YouTube channel and this forum about a year ago, I decided to go ahead and purchase the B2B course. Surely it will teach me more and it gives me a way to pay back.
However, I got stuck on the purchase page because it won’t let me use my email, apparently because I already used it to register on this forum? Sorry if this is a bad place to ask, but how do I proceed? I imagine this has happened before.
Edit: Disregard! I got it sorted

No problem. The video was a lot of work to make, but I think it was worth it given the positive feedback I’ve received. Thanks for taking the time to check it out!
