If you’ve always loved groove-driven music (you know — rock, blues, soul, etc.), but never quite got where you wanted to be on bass, you’re in the right place.

A lot of people join the Bottom Line Club after years, even decades, of wanting to play their favorite music.

Many picked up a bass at some point, learned a few notes… but nothing fully clicked.

Inside the Bottom Line Club, you’ll find a clear, structured path designed to meet you where you are — whether you’re just getting started or ready to go deeper.

Each level builds on the one before it, so you’re never confused… and never stuck, or wondering what to work on next.

The step-by-step approach makes it easy to relax, enjoy the process, and start sounding good quickly — even if your hands aren’t quite what they used to be.

If that sounds like what you’ve been looking for, there’s a level that’s just right for you.

Absolutely! Beginners are more than welcome in the Bottom Line Club.

A lot of people are surprised to learn that the bass lines they've always loved are built on simple, great-feeling grooves.

You don’t need a ton of notes to sound good — you just need the right approach.

If you’re just getting started, the Soundcheck and Opening Act levels are designed to help you build confidence, step by step, always following a clear path with a definite outcome.

And if you ever feel unsure about anything, you can always reach out. I love helping people with their bass playing.

No, you don’t need any music theory knowledge to get started.

Everything in the Bottom Line Club is explained clearly, in plain English, so you can apply it directly to your playing right away.

If you’re brand new to theory, you’ll build a solid understanding as you go.

And if you’re eager to really understand how music works, there’s plenty of depth available — especially in the more advanced levels — so you can connect the dots and see how theory supports great groove and musical confidence.

Wherever you’re starting from, you’ll grow from there.

No problem at at all. And you’re definitely not alone.

Many members start out feeling the same way. The good news is that reading music is a skill you can build gradually, one step at a time.

Lessons include standard notation and tablature, right on the screen, so you can follow along during my video demonstrations.

That way, when you go to practice, you’ll have a clear picture of how the lesson is supposed to sound, making it easier to get those notes under your fingers and connect what you see with what you play.

If you want to dive into sight reading more deeply, there’s structured guidance available to help you improve in a practical, real-world way — not like in a conservatory class, but in a way that supports the music you actually want to play.

And as you get more comfortable, I’ll encourage you to rely less on tab and more on rhythm, notation, and feel — but as with everything here, you’re free to move at your own pace.

Yes — everything inside the Bottom Line Club is self-paced.

You can move as quickly — or as slowly — as you like. There are no deadlines, no required live sessions, and no pressure to “keep up.”

And the Groove Grower™ framework, following a theme-and-variations format, makes moving at your own pace even easier.

You get the best of both worlds: the freedom to move at your own pace, with the structure to keep improving.

As soon as you join the Bottom Line Club, you’ll have immediate access to everything included in your level. There’s no “drip-feeding” of the core material.

It’s completely self-paced. There are no deadlines, no required schedules, and no way to fall “behind.” You move forward when you’re ready, at a pace that works for you.

The only exception is in the All Access level, where — because of the nature of the advanced material — modules in the Power Grooving and BG4 courses are released one at a time so you can fully absorb and apply the content without feeling rushed. 

As soon as you join, you’ll land on your member dashboard, which clearly shows you where to begin based on your level.

If you’re in Soundcheck or Opening Act, you’ll start with the foundational lessons designed to build your confidence and groove step by step.

If you’re in Headliner or All Access, you’ll begin with the structured Growth Track that helps you sharpen your skills and move forward with clarity.

You'll never be left wondering what to do next — everything is laid out so you can jump right in and get started.

How much time you put in is really up to you.

What matters most isn’t cramming in long practice sessions — it’s consistency. If you can carve out even 10 minutes a day, that’s more powerful than skipping all week and trying to make up for it in one long weekend session.

Think of it as building a habit. A little focused time each day keeps your fingers, ears, and feel connected to the instrument.

And when you stick with that steady rhythm, you’ll be surprised how quickly things start to click and how much progress you can make in a relatively short time.

It’s a very common concern. A lot of people who join the Bottom Line Club are in their 60s, 70s… even 80s, and they know exactly what it feels like when life starts showing up in the hands, fingers, shoulders, neck…

Many of my students deal with arthritis, tendonitis, stiffness, past injuries, or even recovering from surgery. If you're dealing with any of that, you’re definitely not alone.

My Groove Grower™ framework eases you in gently. You start with simple grooves that feel comfortable and achievable. The variations get gradually more challenging, but you can move forward at your own pace — whenever you’re ready.

Everything inside the Bottom Line Club is completely self-paced.
No deadlines.
No pressure.
No "behind."

Even if you stick with the easiest examples, you’re still making music. You’re still grooving. And you’re still playing the songs you love.

People are constantly surprised at how little strain it takes to make a bass line feel great — and how much fun it is once everything starts clicking.

In the Bottom Line Club, it's all about playing smart, relaxed, and in a way that feels good.

Yes — you can upgrade or downgrade at any time.

If you decide to move up to a higher level, you’ll simply pay the difference, prorated based on where you are in your current billing cycle.

And if you move down, your access will adjust accordingly at the next billing date.

In other words, you won’t lose out on anything you’ve already paid for. The system automatically handles the math so you can choose the level that fits you best without worrying about timing.

I do everything I can to help you want to stay — by making sure you feel supported, encouraged, and that you’re actually making progress.

But the process itself is very easy — you can cancel anytime with just a few clicks.

If you still have time left in your current plan (monthly or annual), you’ll continue to have full access until that billing period runs out. No surprises, no hidden steps, no hoops to jump through.

No problem at all — just reach out anytime.

There’s a Contact button at the bottom of every page on the site, or you can simply click here to send me a message directly.

Whether you’ve got questions, concerns, feedback, or anything else bass-related, I’m always happy to help.
