Learning is easy with techniques demonstrated in split-screen videos showing multiple angles and close-ups. The over 140 step-by-step full-screen lessons start with the basics, such as tuning the bass, and move on to playing simple bass lines and catchy rhythms with fills and syncopation. They continue on with playing melodies, both tablature and standard music notation, and a chapter on theory covering intervals, scales and triads. Detailed instructions on how to build your own bass line will teach you how to create a bass line for any song you like! New Instant Feedback listens through the computer’s microphone as you play and highlights correctly played notes. Note Tracker even shows you the notes you play in standard music notation, making learning to read music easier than ever! Follow along with the Animated Fretboard as you listen to the recorded audio and variable-speed MIDI tracks. Also includes bass-only and no-bass options so you can perfect your technique as you play along with the band. Learning bass is made fun with many popular songs, including hit songs made famous by the Grateful Dead, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bob Dylan, Steve Miller and others. Many of the songs in eMedia Bass Method are found in eMedia Guitar Method, so bass and guitar students can jam along with each other as they learn. Also includes an automatic tuner, recorder, guitar chord dictionary and digital metronome to give you everything you need to start playing bass guitar! ATTENTION MAC USERS - Beginning with macOS 10.15 (Catalina), Apple has eliminated the option to run 32-bit apps on the Mac. If you wish to continue using our applications, which currently require 32-bit support, do not upgrade your operating system past Mac OS 10.14 (Mojave). Alternatively, you can retain an older Mac operating system on a separate drive partition. eMedia developers are currently working on software updates to support Catalina and future versions of macOS, but this is a major undertaking. eMedia is currently unable to foresee how long it will take to create these new versions. If you purchased your eMedia software on or after September 7, 2019, upon receiving proof of purchase eMedia Music will provide you with a free upgrade to a macOS 10.15 (Catalina)-compatible version of an eMedia application when it becomes available. All other registered owners of eMedia software will be qualified for discounted upgrades.

Good program gets you started on the right path to being a bass player, follow this and you will be playing in no time. The program listens and lets you know if you are playing the right notes.

Prime Envelope was used for shipment and Product Box was completely crushed. Software loaded successfully. Only just starting to use the software. First impression is Positive.

Old old fashioned software. The mustache guy who presents the classes is from the 70's. I loose interest in the first 5 minutes. May will work for beginners who really can't distinguish between a bass guitar and a shove.

This course is amazing. I'm just getting started with bass and have known about it for some time. Features are unbelievable. With perfect accuracy, even tells me when I'm off key or off tempo. I can change temp as needed, pause at will, and absolutely go at my own pace. I can repeat the same lessons as needed. I've had guitar lessons, and being a good musician doesn't make you a good teacher......it's a whole different skill set. The instructor kept trying to get me to progress more quickly than my ability allowed. I've used the old Guitar Method DVD, which is good, but limited in content and features. This course is light years ahead of it. Young or old (I'm 72), if you find learning to play a stringed instrument difficult, this course may be your salvation. I can't say enough good things about it......I'm not sure I'd have tried to learn bass without it. I'm getting the Singing Method next.

The product works great, but my son is impatient (wants to be able to play free bird the first day), so he has already quit using it.

The song choices are mostly all for for a very long ago era.This program has potential, BUT most of the music is not for me (except for songs listed in the product description).Here is an example of how old fashioned and lame the lyrics are of the featured songs:"All day, all night, Marianne, down by the sea side siftin' sand. Even the little children love Marianne down by the sea side siftin' sand."There are 4 pages of lessons based on this song. The lessons are great, but the song itself is awful so practicing the lessons is misery. SO BUMMED. :(I was SO EXCITED to use this, but there is no way I can practice along this music with so many old fashioned church ballads. I will type some out below. If you can handle these, great, get this program. If not, you will end up sadly wasting your $ like me,So yes, the bass lessons themselves, and the bass lines, are very good.BUTyou really have to be cool with this type of music because you have to listen and play over and over to practice. I could not handle the music personally. I wish this had been disclosed before I spent the $. How about some good, classic, popular religiously neutral songs eMedia?Some of the other songs:Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping? Brother John, Brother John.Morning bells are ringing, morning bells are ringing. Ding, ding, don; ding, ding, don.Love, oh love oh careless love, oh love, oh love, oh careless love. My love was one to kiss and run, you see what careless love has done.Will the circle be unbroken by and by, Lord, by and by? There is a better home a waiting in the sky, Lord, in the sky.Swing low sweet chariot, comin' for to carry me home. (repeat)I looked over Jordan and what did I see, comin' for to carry me home.A band of angels comin' after me, comin' for to carry me home.Swing low sweet chariot, comin' for to carry me home. (repeat)Down in the valley, valley so low, late in the evening, hear the wind blow.Hear the wind blow, dear, hear the wind blow, late in the evening, hear the wind blow.She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes.She'll be comin' round the mountain,she'll be comin' round the mountain,she'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes.She'll be puffin' and a blowin' when she comes. (repeat like above)AND more, just like these....Many of these songs have pages and pages of lessons on them.

I'm a more "let me see how you play it then I can play it" type of guy. And this software does that for me by showing me what string and what fret to use while the music is playing. Learning simplified.
