FAQ:

Q: Do you teach both 4-string and 5-string bass?

A: Yes, our instructors tailor lessons for standard 4-string and extended-range 5-string bass guitars.

Q: Do I need a special audio setup or audio interface to take bass lessons online?

A: No. A standard practice amp placed near your laptop or tablet works great. You can also plug directly into a simple USB interface or headphone amp. Your teacher will hear your tone and basslines clearly through your webcam setup.

Q: How does an instructor correct my bass hand technique through a screen?

A: Positioning your webcam gives your teacher a direct, close-up view of both your fretting hand and plucking fingers. Your instructor can spot string muting, posture, and rhythm habits in real time and demonstrate fixes on screen.
