Bass Guitar Survival Guide (for Guitar Players)

How do you play bass without sounding like a guitar player who’s trying to play bass? In this collaborative course with Rhett Shull, we talk about the unique role the bass has in a band and the differences between bass guitar and guitar in technique and mindset. This is an updated version of the course, and contains an additional 30 minutes of information from Philip discussing Timing, Taste and Tone for guitar players looking to lock in on bass.
