With Power Grooving, you'll have the tools to build your own bass grooves, in any style of music!
Stop Being Limited By The Number of Styles You Can Play on The Bass
You want to learn bass. You imagine yourself laying down all kinds of grooves with the band. First, it's a feel-good blues shuffle, then a swingin’ walking bass line. Up next, you're showing off your nastiest R&B groove, then some ridiculously funky slap bass. The band is hot tonight! You’re supplying the grooves, one after another. The crowd is into it. Everyone feels great. Especially you!
In the real world, though, that’s not happening, is it? Right now, maybe you can manage a basic blues or a simple rock beat. But then what? The band wants more from you. The audience wants more from you. The people want to dance.
They’re requesting everything from disco music and Latin grooves to country/bluegrass and a waltz. And you’re totally unable to deliver. Everyone’s looking at you. And you’re looking down at your feet.
You were so eager and pumped. You had such hopes and excitement! Now all you want to do is hide under a rock. And not come out.
Do you know that feeling? Well, I do. I remember it well – no matter how hard I try to forget it! It’s frustrating, embarrassing, and totally disheartening. In fact, it’s downright awful.
Isn’t it time you did something about it?
Your Problem Is Totally Solvable!*
*if you have the right person to guide you.
There are steps to take to get where you want to go. And I've got them all laid out for you.
At forbassplayersonly.com, I take the frustration out of learning bass, so you can build confidence, have fun, and thoroughly enjoy making music!
I’m privileged to have helped over 125,000 people learn bass. And the funny thing is, people are always asking me for more. More bass grooving instruction! So, I developed a new masterclass, specifically for bass grooving.
It's called POWER GROOVING FOR BASS PLAYERS, and it's completely different from anything else I’ve ever done.
Imagine taking a chord progression, any chord progression, and being able to play it with a rock beat, a walking bass line, a Latin groove, a reggae beat, a gospel feel, a funky R&B groove, a blues shuffle…
Any kind of groove in any style. And in any key!
Would you like to be able to do that?
And how would it be if you happened to build some amazing bass chops along the way?
If that sounds good to you, keep reading. That’s what you can learn from my Power Grooving masterclass.

Here’s how POWER GROOVING works:
Power Grooving is made up of 6 modules, each one with about 5 or 6 lessons. Throughout the masterclass, Power Grooving maintains a consistent emphasis on grooving ability. I’ll show you how to take bass grooving concepts and apply them to any style of music.
1
Module 1: Five Things Every Bass Player Must Know
This module covers my list of five things that are absolutely necessary for being a good, solid bass player, regardless of how long you've been playing and what styles you're into.
The material here was compiled from my 4+ decade career as a professional bass player, including a lot of trial and error and on-the-job training! I’m going to pass along to you a lot of the things I learned - sometimes the hard way! - to help you avoid unpleasant experiences.
2
Module 2: Scale Studies - That Groove!
Module 2 is focused on scale and arpeggio studies... but not like anything you’ve seen before!
If you know anything about me and how my bass lessons are structured, you know I’m all about the groove. Even when it comes to scales! You’ll be mastering your scales by grooving on them, playing rock lines, walking bass lines, country, R&B and jazz/rock fusion grooves. It’s a fun, musical way to get your scales down. By grooving!
3
Module 3: Power Grooving in Action
Module 3 will take you deeper into the Power Grooving concepts and techniques. Here, we’re going to take a four-chord progression and play it with a light rock groove, an extended shuffle groove, a funky R&B groove, a pop-style groove and a Latin/salsa groove.
Throughout the entire masterclass, I’ll be continually reinforcing the five things covered in Module 1, so you can apply them to any chord progression in any style.
4
Module 4: Power Grooving and the Minor Blues
Module 4 is all about the minor blues, with its distinct sound and flavor.
Here you’ll be applying the Power Grooving concepts to a soulful B.B. King-style blues, a swingin’ jazz walking bass line, a country ballad, a Motown-style minor blues, and a rock & roll-style minor blues.
5
Module 5: Lesser played (but still important!) Styles
In Module 5, we'll veer off the mainstream, just a bit. The styles in this module aren’t as common as a blues shuffle or a basic rock beat, but they’re still important to know. And they’re fun to play!
Here we’ll take a single chord progression and play it with a hip-hop feel, a reggae feel, a five/four groove, a jazz waltz, a jazz/rock fusion groove, and a dance/disco groove. Did I mention these are fun to play?
6
Module 6: Ultimate Power Grooving!
The Power Grooving journey culminates with Module 6: Ultimate Power Grooving!
The lessons in this module are longer than those in the previous modules, taking the Power Grooving concept to maximum level. Here we’re going to take a regular 12-bar blues, stretch it out, and play it in 10 different styles: shuffle, jazz, R&B, gospel, rock, bluegrass, slapping, Latin, ballad, and fusion.
The grooves in this module emphasize what we’ll be talking about all along. Once you understand the Power Grooving techniques, you can apply them to any chord progression, in any style of music!
A few of the benefits of my Power Grooving masterclass
Self-paced “Theme & Variations” structure
Power Grooving was developed using my signature “Theme & Variations” format. Each lesson starts out relatively easy, then slowly becomes more challenging, little by little. The audio backing tracks, however, can be played with any portion of the lesson. So whether you want to work on the easy stuff, or the more challenging stuff, you can choose whatever example(s) you like. You can work on whatever parts of the lesson are appropriate for your level, at your own pace, until you’re ready to move up. I refer to this format as having “built-in inspiration” in every lesson. My students love it!
Actionable takeaways with every lesson!
Throughout the masterclass, you’ll be receiving constant reinforcement of the “5 Things Every Bass Player Must Know,” including valuable advice about laying down a solid groove, locking in with the drummer, understanding the harmony, and more. You’ll have specific action items to put to use right away, after every lesson. Power Grooving was designed with my “Teach a man to fish” approach, providing you with the tools to develop your own bass lines, so you can learn to groove in any style of music. You’ll have everything you need to be that bass player that everyone wants to have in their band!
Downloadable, printable PDFs. Practice anywhere!
In addition to being able to follow along with the music during my demonstrations (fast and slow), you can download and print a PDF of every lesson. I realize it’s not always practical, or even necessary to practice each lesson in front of your computer, tablet, smartphone, or whatever you’re using. With this feature, you can print off a copy of the music notation (which also includes tablature, by the way!), and take it with you wherever you go.
Looping audio tracks, with variable speed!
Every lesson in Power Grooving includes two audio tracks, one with bass and one without. That way, you can practice any portions of the lesson you want, the easier examples or the more challenging ones. All tracks are configured to loop continuously, so you can practice as long as you want. Another great feature is the variable speed control on every track, so you can slow the music down – or speed it up! – whatever you want!
