    I'm with Bill Layton. I discovered you (Steve) last night and came back first thing in the morning for more. (After coffee of course) What I just learned in your first 3 videos has taken other people I know months to learn. You are absolutely a great teacher. Your lessons have forced me to learn the location of all (most) of the notes. Much mahalo from Maui!
  • @mlsjca9670

    Steve. I learned more in 1/2 hr and I’m more inspired to practice now. You are a very good teacher ! Thank you Bill
  • Ho Steve, I'm from Ethiopia. I play guitar and just beginning bass. Your lessons are the best that I found. Thanks a lot for your kindnes. You're a real good teacher.
  • Amazing teacher - two lessons only and I already feel like a pro! I love how you concentrate on the foundational basics. I would advice any new beginners to take time on this intro lessons, once you understand them everything else will make so much sense and will be easy to understand.
  • Thank you very much. Such a type of simple lessons are very important for begginers
  • I teach a beginner course for both bass and guitar and these 3 lessons just became added to my new student's videos to watch! Thank you excellent information.
  • @MrLewtra
    wow, Steve, you are a Superman... the bass guitar and scales, in general, were a daunting task for me, it's been years already with me trying to understand the fundamentals but less than an hour with you from videos 1 to 3, I can testify that I will never be the same player again. You are the best at teaching bass. Thanks for this.

    I just returned to the bass after several years of guitar only playing. I’ve picked up more knowledge and skills from these three videos than any others I have watched. Very methodical and effective method of learning, many thanks.
