For Bass Players Only is the flagship site of Notehead Media Group, formed by world-renowned bassist and educator Jon Liebman.

Notehead was created for people who have always wanted to play a musical instrument but haven’t found the opportunity or never got very far with it.

We inspire and motivate with our weekly interviews and free music lessons, and we educate by way of membership programs and stand-alone courses.

At Notehead, we dramatically transform people’s mindsets, bringing about a “can-do” spirit for finding joy and fulfillment in doing what they really want to do, make music.

Since the start, we have been driven to create the ultimate framework for learning to play an instrument for anyone who follows the Notehead methodology, regardless of age or level of experience.

Our meticulously designed systems were developed specifically for making all of the above a reality, in a way that's not only fun but delivers great results.
