More of a feature suggestion:
The Hal Leonard books have this player on the website that shows the waveform of the isolated bass track. You hear the entire song/clip, but can see the marker pass over the waveform of the bass. It can sometimes be a challenge to pick the bass out of a mix - but this makes it really easy to pick it out and see how it fits into the song.
I just came across this thread again and it got me thinking. I have a bunch of courses by mark at talking bass and they are excellent. Scott at sbl has a bunch of similar courses. as do a bunch of others. mark frequently makes the point that there is nothing new under the sun and they are all saying the same thing. so if josh were to put out a scales course or a chord tones course, or any others that have been done to death (ie slap). would I buy it? even though I already own Mark’s courses on these subjects? yes, yes I would. because what gives Josh’s course value is not what he teaches as much as how he teaches it. he makes it fun and interesting and easy to learn.
You’re right on. 
100% agree. Due to a host of neurodivergent issues, it has to be a very particular way for any kind of training to be effective for me. Josh is the only instructor I’ve found that does all the right things I need. At this point, I don’t even care what instructional video he puts out. I’ll buy it no matter what. Josh puts out a “How to Wash your Dishes Properly” series? Take my credit card.
For SBL, I like the subjects they cover but their teaching style doesn’t work for me at all. I do love their non-teaching videos on youtube and their podcast, however.
Talking Bass hits some of the right notes for me…no pun intended…ok maybe a little intended. The information is presented in a format that I need BUT the delivery is a bit dry and I have to watch it in small chunks to be able to absorb it. Once I figured out HOW I need to watch TB stuff, I started to have more success and I’m currently going though the “Chord Tone” course.
Long story longer: Josh is the greatest instructor to ever live. I would follow him into Mordor at this point and purchase any course he puts out along the way.
You have my axe…and by “axe” I mean the slang term for electric guitar.
Hey Josh,
I am super excited at the thought of a new course. I know you will be teaching us great stuff.
I would very much like to go into a bit more depth on the blues form. Understanding how to create different grooves, using fretboard, shapes and improvising and playing along. So much music comes from blues progressions etc. Seems like a great form to really get to grips with.
I would also like us to look in a similar way at the structure of simple jazz progressions and walking bass patterns. That is largely unexplored territory for me and at the moment, I can’t quite “hear it”, if you know what i mean? I can improvise a simple blues groove and have a real feel for that. I don’t have a clue about jazz progressions though. They don’t make sense to me at the moment.
Also I would find it very helpful to be able to see a little further ahead during the play alongs. I’m not sure how you might do that. It is often a bit frustrating as we reach the final bar on the screen not to know what is coming up next!
I think the bits i enjoyed most in the B2B course were the play alongs and the improvising. I know there are copyright issues, but it would be awesome if we could play some whole songs together. Similarly, some longer improvs would be awesome.
Thank you again for all you are doing. Learning the bass from you has changed my life (in a very good way).
Hugs,
Sue
P.S. I just realised that above I said “I can improvise a simple blues groove”. What!! 10 weeks ago i had never even held a bass guitar. Amazing!! 
I may have missed something said before but is there any idea of when a bass buzz 2.0 might come about?
Like many in this thread I’ve tried some other courses and improved in some areas since completing the course recently but have still stagnated a lot. Im not great at motivating myself to follow a self study path (even when I can sketch one out) and the teachers behind the main touted alternatives just dont motivate me for various reasons.
tl;dr: not any time soon, or maybe ever.
Josh is focusing on YouTube content for now.
some metal songs in there would be dope, that’s probably just me tho.
Hey Josh, great course! Loved it & on my second time through. As soon as I finished the course, I wanted to try out some of my favorite songs by groups like Metallica, but I’ve struggled to find a similar sound. A course on how to copy the sounds of our favorite bands or maybe genres would be really helpful. Also, an intro into what all the gadgets (pedals, sound effects, etc.) can do for us would be really helpful.
That’s cool. Thx.
Hi Josh,
I’m not quite finished yet with the course. I’m in the slap module. That said regardless what you decide to cover in the next course, please keep it as accessible as you have the B2B. I’m a blind guy. Lost my sight just before the pandemic at 40 yo. A couple of months ago I took a gamble on this course and have been super happy that I’ve been able to follow all the lessons. I might not be able to use the beat ruler, tabs, or sheet music , but you always give me the info I need verbally. I 'might need to rewind a few times to memorize the notes but very doable.
Thanks!
Jon
This is awesome right here, and something @JoshFossgreen should be proud of having helped make possible. Best wishes to you @JJ - super impressive, and i wish you all the best. Keep on thumpin’!
@JJ you are a model for all of us, rather I would to tell for all.
@JJ You are an absolute hero man.
Keep on Bassing!!
Hey Josh its funny this topic is here I had an idea on 2 topics but thought it wasnt my place to make suggestions on your curriculum.
Two things I would like to see in the next course. 1)playing without looking at the fretboard. I notice when I am playing a song my head is at a 45 degree angle. Watching the fretboard, maybe just a few tips or lessons on practicing playing without looking down.
2) At least 1 or more full lessons about relaxation. I noticed in a few lessons you would say shake it out and relax but not a lot of emphasis was placed on the power of relaxation. WHen I play I get so tense about getting the notes right, alternating fingers, making sure Im on the right rhythm that I mess up. However when I just relax and play I make a lot fewer mistakes.
Great suggestions, @DAMONRUTLEDGE.
Consider jumping on the Introduce Yourself! (2024) thread so everyone can welcome you to the forum.
@DAMONRUTLEDGE - I bought and took talkingbass.net’s Sight Reading course. I know it says sight reading, which is certainly what it is about, but it is also a master class in learning the fretboard without looking. It really really helped me a lot. On sale now for 30% off (he has sales at most major holidays btw). I’ve only completed volume 1, but already a huge help. (I already knew how to read music, but was a good refresher of the bass cleff, and connects the dots (literally) between the sheet, your fingers, and the frets.
@JoshFossgreen
I’m only half way through the first course and as much as i want to finish quickly i know that isn’t going to be everything I need so I’m taking my time but doing the lessons over and over so that things begin to stick. I’m so stoked because im actually creating some of my own bass lines and I think they sound pretty decent. My fingers are doing things they’ve never been able to do. Another thing that I am so happy about is when I look at a TAB I understand it almost instinctively right away! I’m colorblind and it’s as though I can see all colors now! One thing I was wondering is if you are going to come up with memorabilia or T-shirts for graduates to purchase or have access to once they finish the course. Another thing I am wondering about is a restart button so that once I go through the full course I can start from scratch again. For the second course perhaps some advanced riffs to train on once I qualify for them. Anyway thanks for your training style as it has helped me tremendously.
BassBuzz shirts have been requested by Buzzers since the dawn of B2B.
While Our Trusty Bass Teacher is thoughtfully responsive to questions and requests for help, he remains oddly steadfast in his silence about the coming of B2B shirts. It’s a mystery wrapped in an enigma.
But one thing’s for sure: Neither that mystery nor anything else is wrapped in a BassBuzz t-shirt.
