If you grew up loving the classic rock and blues of the ’60s and ’70s… but never really learned to play an instrument — or never got as far as you hoped with the bass — you’re in the right place.

A lot of people come to me after years (sometimes decades!) of wanting to play this music themselves. Many picked up a bass at one point, learned a few notes, maybe tried a book or two… but nothing ever fully clicked.

Inside the Bottom Line Club, things finally start to make sense.

My self-paced Groove Grower™ framework lays everything out in a simple, step-by-step way, making it easier to relax, enjoy the process, and start sounding good quickly — even if your hands aren’t quite what they used to be.

Before long, people find themselves playing real grooves, recognizing patterns, and enjoying the feeling of making music again.

If that sounds like something you’ve been wanting, you might find the Bottom Line Club to be a really good fit — just like thousands of others, just like you, who once wondered the same thing.

Totally! Beginners are more than welcome here.

A lot of people are surprised to learn that the bass lines they love in classic rock and blues/rock are built on simple, great-feeling grooves. You don’t need a ton of notes to sound good — you just need the right approach.

Regardless of what level player you are, the Growth Track makes it easy to move forward on the bass. It gives experienced players a clear path to sharpening their skills, tightening their groove, and filling in any gaps they might have missed along the way. And it’s just as ideal for beginners, with simple, step-by-step guidance that builds confidence and lays down solid bass fundamentals and groove basics.

And if you ever feel unsure about anything, you can always reach out. I love helping people get started — and helping more seasoned players get even better.

Not at all. 

And I don't even know how old you are!

A lot of the people who join the Bottom Line Club are in their 60s, 70s… even 80s. They grew up on the great classic rock and blues/rock songs of the ’60s and ’70s, and they finally decided it was time to stop just listening — and start playing.

Many haven’t played an instrument before. Others picked up a bass years ago and drifted away from it. Some are dealing with stiff fingers, slower hands, or other aches and pains that come with life. That’s all totally normal.

Inside the Growth Track, everything is laid out in a clear, simple, step-by-step way that makes playing bass feel comfortable, doable, and fun. You’ll ease into the fundamentals, learn real grooves, and start playing the music you’ve always loved.

You’re not trying to be a rock star — you just want to play the bass. And you absolutely can.

Just remember: You’re never too old to groove.

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 — all the fun stuff.

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.

That’s why 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 striving to "keep up.”

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.

And the best part?

It doesn’t require a lot of wear and tear on the ol’ muscles and bones.

As soon as you join the Bottom Line Club, you’ll have immediate access to everything inside the membership — all the lessons and all the courses, along with the step-by-step action items and clear milestones in the Growth Track, so you’ll always know when you’re ready for the next stage.

There’s a lot waiting for you, but it’s all laid out in a way that’s simple and never overwhelming. Everything is organized using the Groove Grower™ framework, which is completely self-paced, so you can move forward comfortably and always know exactly what to work on next.

And of course, whenever new lessons or courses are created, you’ll get access to those too.

Great question!

There’s a lot inside the Bottom Line Club, but everything is there for a reason. I don’t believe in “content for content’s sake.” Every lesson is designed to give you something practical and useful.

When you join, you’ll start with the Growth Track. That’s where you’ll quickly identify which stage is right for you based on your current level of playing.

Each stage includes a downloadable PDF with specific action items and milestones, so you’ll always know what to work on next and when you’re ready to move forward.

The Growth Track not only gives you a clear, step-by-step path for solving your bass-playing problems and reaching your goals… it also keeps you from feeling overwhelmed by the rest of the library.

If you ever need help choosing your next step, just reach out. I’m always happy to point you in the right direction.

It’s tough to put a specific number on it — everyone’s life, schedule, and hands are different.

But here’s what does work:

Make learning bass a habit.

Set aside whatever amount of time feels doable for you and stick with it. Even 10–15 minutes a day can create amazing momentum when you make it part of your routine — especially if you can do it at the same time each day.

Most of the lessons inside the Bottom Line Club are short — often around 10 minutes or less — and they’re all designed to help you make progress without needing to spend hours practicing.

And because everything is built with the self-paced Groove Grower™ framework, each lesson uses a simple “theme & variations” structure. You play what feels comfortable now, then move to the next variation whenever you’re ready.

When you build the habit — even just a few minutes a day — the results add up quickly.
People are always surprised by how far they get with small, consistent steps.

Not at all — you’re definitely not alone.

A lot of people join the Bottom Line Club feeling the same way, and the good news is that reading music is a skill you can absolutely build over time.

Inside the membership, the Sight Reading course walks you through the essentials step by step. And it’s designed for real people — not conservatory students — so everything feels practical, doable, and connected to the kind of music you actually want to play.

Plus, every lesson in the Bottom Line Club includes both standard notation and tablature right on the screen. You can follow along as I demonstrate the groove, get the notes under your fingers, and gradually start recognizing what you’re seeing on the page.

As you get more comfortable, I do recommend easing away from tab and leaning more on the notes and rhythms — that’s when everything really starts to click. But don’t worry… I’ll help you get there.

It’s totally understandable.

A lot of people who join the Bottom Line Club tell me they felt the same way at first — not because they didn’t want to learn bass, but because they’d already tried books, apps, and random YouTube videos that never quite got them where they wanted to go.

That’s exactly why I created this membership:

To give you a clear path, steady support, and lessons that finally make the bass feel fun and doable.

Inside, you’ll follow the Growth Track, where everything is laid out simply and logically. No guesswork. No overwhelm. Just real progress — at your own pace — playing the classic rock and blues/rock grooves you already love.

And remember, you’re not locked into anything.

When you join, you get 14 days to try everything out, completely risk-free. If it’s not the right fit, just let me know and I’ll refund every penny.

If you’ve been wanting to actually enjoy picking up your bass — to play real grooves, feel good about your progress, and finally make music — the Bottom Line Club might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

I try to make the decision to cancel difficult — because I want you to feel supported, encouraged, and actually making progress.

But the process itself? 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.

You can switch between the monthly and annual plans anytime you want.

Your billing will be automatically prorated, so you never lose any time you’ve already paid for — everything adjusts itself behind the scenes.

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.
