Test out the beta version of the new interactive StudyBass Study Guide. It solves a lot of issues for me and you. Tell me what you think!

I am working up something big to begin 2023. Bigger than a bass lesson. Bigger than a lesson block.

I Appreciate Your Support

I couldn't continue this project without user support. It's enough work for 10 people, but it's all just me. I, and many other bass players, truly appreciate your help keeping this alive.

Good luck with your musical pursuits,

Andrew Pouska
