Is It Too Late For You to Learn Bass?

You’ve always loved the music — those driving bass lines, the songs you’ve been singing for years. Maybe you’ve even pictured yourself holding down the groove.

There’s a good chance, though, that when you try to play, it's not as easy as you'd hoped.

Maybe your fingers won't cooperate.

Or you just aren't sure where to begin.

You’re not alone. Many people over 50 want to play the music they love, but arthritis, tendonitis, or simply not knowing the right steps can make it feel out of reach.

That’s exactly why I created The 5-Minute Bass Player — short, simple lessons that make learning fun and keep you moving forward, one groove at a time.

Jon Liebman’s For Bass Players Only has been recognized by leading bass publications and events, including…

Still Have Questions?

Can I really learn bass with lessons that are just 5 minutes long?

Well, yes...and no. Each lesson in The 5-Minute Bass Player takes 5 minutes (or less!) to go through, so you can actually finish it in one sitting. From there, you’ll spend as much (or as little) extra time as you want practicing what you learned. The idea isn’t that you’ll master the bass in 5 minutes — it’s that you’ll always know exactly what to work on, one step at a time, without overwhelm.

 

What if I don’t have much time to practice?

That’s exactly why I created The 5-Minute Bass Player. Each lesson is 5 minutes or less, so you can focus on learning one thing at a time. Of course, you’ll want to practice in between lessons — but you’ll always know what to work on, and you can do it at your own pace.

I’m over 60 — am I too old to start playing bass?

Not at all! Most of the people I work with are in their 50s, 60s, 70s, even 80s. The lessons in The 5-Minute Bass Player are designed to be simple, doable, and fun — no matter your age. You’re never too old to groove!

 

Do I need to know music theory or read music?

Nope. You’ll get everything you need, step by step. Each lesson comes with easy-to-follow PDFs (including tablature), so if you're not strong at reading standard notation, you can follow the tablature. There's also a full video demonstration of me playing every lesson, which will also help.

 

What kind of gear and equipment do I need?

All you really need is a bass and something to play it through. Even a small practice amp will do — and honestly, most of the time I don’t use an amp at all! If you’re playing with friends or in a band, a basic bass and amp is plenty. The lessons in The 5-Minute Bass Player are designed to work with whatever you’ve got.

 

How do I access the lessons?

As soon as you join, you’ll get instant access to the whole program. You can log in on your computer, tablet, or phone anytime, from anywhere in the world. I’m probably the least “techy” guy you’ll ever meet, so I made sure everything is simple and easy to use.

 

I’ve tried learning bass before but just couldn't get anywhere.

You're not alone. Most of the people that come to me to learn bass are in the same boat. Other methods can feel overwhelming or drag on forever before you ever feel like you’re playing music. In The 5-Minute Bass Player, the lessons are short, focused, and based on the songs and grooves you actually love. You’ll always know what to do next — and you’ll be playing music right from the start.

 

Can I use this if I don’t live in the U.S.?

Absolutely. The 5-Minute Bass Player is entirely online. I’ve got students from all over the world — age 50 and up — learning and having fun with these lessons.

 

What if I’m not happy with the program?

No worries — you’re covered by my 14-Day Money-Back Guarantee. If you feel it’s not the right fit, just let me know within 14 days and I’ll refund your money. No hassle, no hard feelings.

What kind of songs will I be able to play?

You’ll be playing grooves in the styles of classic rock, blues, funk, and more — the music that made you want to pick up a bass in the first place. The examples are based on real bass lines, so you’ll feel like you’re playing music right away, not just exercises.

Join over 140,000 people who’ve discovered how fun playing bass can be — even later in life.
With short, simple lessons, you’ll finally learn to play the songs you love — and have fun doing it.

One-time payment. Lifetime enjoyment.
