In a word, "No." And I don't even know how old you are!

I can tell you, though, that so many of my students are in their 50s, 60s, 70s... even 80s, and they feel like they've waited long enough.

You're not trying to be a rock star; you just want to play the bass.

Imagine how much fun it would be to play blues shuffles, classic rock riffs, walking bass lines, or maybe a little funk or R&B.

You're never too old to learn something new, including bass!

That's a very common concern. In fact, most of my students are "north" of 50 or 60 -- and I know the kinds of things that can creep into our bodies after that.

A lot of my students are dealing with arthritis, tendonitis, pain in the hands, neck, back, etc. Many have had surgery.

With my Groove Grower™ framework, you start by playing some very simple grooves.

The variations within each lesson gradually get increasingly challenging. In other words, you can play whatever you're able to play now and move up whenever you're ready -- if you want to.

Everything in the Bottom Line Club is self-paced. There's no pressure and there are no deadlines. Even if you stay with the easier examples, you'll still be making music, and grooving!

Bottom Line Club members are constantly amazed at how much impact even a super simple groove can have on the music and how much fun it is to play.

And it doesn't require a lot of wear and tear on your muscles and bones!

I understand. But let me ask you this: How badly do you want to conquer that lack of confidence you feel when it comes to playing bass?

How much is it worth to you to get rid of all that frustration and start having some real fun, playing bass and making music?

Imagine finally getting a grasp on building bass technique, sight reading, and learning to play your favorite music!

How much is that worth? Only you can answer that.

Remember, when you join the Bottom Line Club, you can try it out for 14 days, totally risk-free. If you decide it's not for you, I'll refund all your money and we'll still be friends.

Sound good?

Totally! While some of the courses can get pretty advanced, others are actually quite simple.

Keep in mind that most of the bass lines you'll be called upon to play in the "real world" are simple.

Regardless of your current level of bass playing, I'll start you out with the Growth Track, where you'll quickly find the best course of action that's appropriate for you, regardless of your level as a player - even if you're a beginner!

What’s more, you can reach out to me anytime. I love helping people learn bass!

No worries.

The Bottom Line Club comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee. If you decide, for whatever reason, that it's not for you, just let me know within that timeframe and I'll refund all your money. It's entirely risk-free.

Spoiler alert: Almost nobody takes me up on that offer! :)

Also, you can cancel your membership at anytime. I like to think I make the DECISION to cancel difficult, but the process itself is easy, just a couple clicks.

Even if you do cancel, you'll still have continued access to everything in the Bottom Line Club until the end of your membership cycle, at which time it will stop, as will all future payments.

I can help you with that. The Sight Reading course in the Bottom Line Club will take you through the whole process of learning to read music, step-by-step.

In fact, all the lessons in the Bottom Line Club will be enormously helpful for helping you get your reading together. As you watch my demonstrations of each lesson, you can follow along with the music notation at the bottom of your screen.

Every lesson includes not only standard music notation, but tablature as well, giving you a head-start toward getting those notes under your fingers.

I do recommend, though, that you eventually wean yourself away from the tab and learn to read actual notes and rhythms. That will increase your reading ability immeasurably. Again, I can help!

Yes, there's a lot of stuff, but I don't believe in content for content's sake. Every lesson is designed to give you something practical and useful.

When you join the Bottom Line Club, I'm going to start you out with the Growth Track. That'll help you quickly identify which stage is most appropriate for you, based on your level of playing.

In each stage of the Growth Track, every lesson includes a downloadable PDF with specific action items and milestones.

The Growth Track will not only provide you with a step-by-step path toward solving your bass-playing problems and achieving your bass-playing goals, it will prevent you from experiencing any "overwhelm" from the Bottom Line Club library.

If you still need help, reach out to me and I'll offer some suggestions. That's what I'm here for!

Yes I do! In addition to an entire course devoted 100% to upright bass, you'll find lots of other lessons perfectly suited to the upright, including several in the Jazz, Blues, and Building Bass Lines courses, and even some of the Rock lessons!

I understand that sometimes it's difficult to find the time to indulge your desire to learn bass.

My lessons and courses are structured so you can still make great strides, even if you can't spend hours and hours studying and practicing. Most of my lessons are only about 10 minutes or less -- and they're all packed with tons of value!

What's more, with the Groove Grower™ framework, each lesson is structured in a "theme & variations" approach, so you can work, at your own pace, even if that means only a little bit at a time, regardless of how much time you have.

The amount of progress you make will surprise you!
