New BassBuzz course?

I haven’t watched much of Mark, but I’ve seen him cover videos discussing basslines from the Beatles, Led Zeppelin etc.

He seems more into the music I’m into, same can be said for Josh… I don’t think there is a single song I dislike on the 50 songs list…

Scott seems to like a music wider variety of genres… he sometimes refers to other bass players and lists bass player names… and I’m just sat there like… who?!?

Maybe I need to watch more Mark content?

I’d recommend it. He’s also an extremely nice person, handles his own customer service and is very flexible.

Any thoughts on Jamplay?

I tried Jamplay before B2B and IMO if B2B is a 10, Jamplay is a 3.
I cancelled and got B2B shortly after.

Thank you.
I recently almost pulled the trigger on Jamplay but looks like I had a lucky escape

Not at all. Read here, BadAss BassBuzz Alumni, and you’ll see plenty of people have talked about a feeling of loss when the course is over. Myself included.

Unfortunately, there’s no word on when that’ll happen.

Josh teaches 1 on 1 classes. You could send him a direct message and ask if he has any openings

LoL! Yeah, Scott can be pretty polarizing. People seem to either like what he has to offer or want to tear their own ears off just to make it stop. Quite a few people here tried SBL first, went nope, and then found BassBuzz.

About Josh and Mark
According to what I remember Josh posting on the forum, they are more acquaintances. I never got the impression they knew each other very well, other than they have spoken before. Also, they have both played on a cruise ship, but not at the same time.

I know that Mark is familiar with and respects B2B. From personal correspondence.

I’ve been wondering if a follow up course (subject to happening) would be a genre or style specific smaller course - over on Harmonica.com (which is a sister company to BassBuzz and has some of the same people behind it) they have a B2B course like we do, along with a Blues Specific follow-up course and a handful of additional content in the form of articles etc.

It’d be cool to see a similar format, though whereas Blues is an obvious direction on the Harmonica for specialising, choosing a specific style or genre on the bass could prove trickier.

I was on there too. I love his Live Hangs (normally on Saturdays). Say hi to me next time @toughdoody . I think I’m the only Pam :smiley_cat:

@PamPurrs Pam, Will do next time.
woke this morning and noticed there was still a discount despite the timer being expired. So, I bought the Scales Course.
Correct me if I am wrong but didnt you say do Scales before Chords?

I think there’s another Pam going around calling herself SPAM. She seems to be super popular since I see her mentioned quite a bit. Apparently loves to send emails! :yum:

Yes, I did Scale Essentials concurrently with B2B, and did Chord Tones afterward.
After Chord Tones, I did Walking Bass and then Sight Reading.
(I’m currently reviewing Chord Tones and Walking Bass as a refresher, but this time on the upright).

Beware of cheap imitations! There’s only one of me.

Welcome to BassBuzz @micklerd!

Qite a few people have gone on to use Ari’s books and courses. It’s supposed to be very good but with more of a college class style of teaching.

Did you do Beginner to Bad Ass first or go right in to Ari’s program?

Doing them simultaneously.
