First off, thank you @JoshFossgreen for putting this amazing resource together - your friendly teaching style and the concise yet super informative content packed into this course has indeed made me from an absolute beginner, who only picked up a bass four months ago, to someone whoās now able to play along to songs (my original aim), create my own basslines, tentatively transcribe some grooves, and more!
The course is so worth it - it really has all the essential information you need to get started, build good habits and technique, and gain enough music theory knowledge to confidently go off and carry on learning the instrument on your own. I chose the course because as a beginner, I wanted 1) a good practice structure 2) a reliable teacher who I could trust, and 3) to feel that I make tangible progress, and donāt stall or feel discouraged when I get to the ātougherā modules. B2B delivered all this hands down - I genuinely felt inspired the whole time, and whenever there was a more challenging lesson, I just knew I WILL learn how to play this or that groove by trusting Joshās methods, doing the workouts, and indeed, have fun and cherish the process!
Like others have said, I so wish this course was available when I was a teen, just around 15 years ago - itās really like working with a teacher thatās physically with you (the amount of times Josh has said āremember to keep breathingā as Iām about to suffocate while trying to play something really fast
) and itās all very organic and laid-back.
Finally, you feel a real sense of accomplishment at the end of it - provided you put in the work, of course - and for an absolute beginner like me, to be comfortable with the instrument after just four months of practice, itās such a great feeling. Itās an amazing hobby to have, and has changed my life for the better.
My course highlights, in no particular order - learning what a bass slide is in the very early lessons; being initially baffled by Billy Jean; learning Higher & Higher after four days of dedication and callus-building; the ta-dah moment after learning the C major scale; finding that yes, I could slap and pop if I wanted to (itās not entirely my thing at the moment!); putting it all together in the final modules, and realising that when I look at the fretboard now, I donāt feel intimidated as I know how to find all the notes with relative ease.

). Josh, you have a good teacherās personality, with palpable excitement about the subject and empathy for the studentās POV. You always put things into context, so we always knew why we were learning something and what level of mastery we should expect from ourselves. A good balance of satisfaction and reality checks.
