It has helped me progress from beginner stage to an advanced intermediate in a very short time. I refer back to it often for exercises and also advice when I am trying to come up with basslines for new songs. I am in 3 different bands right now - playing both originals and covers. I am looking forward to the Fretboard course because I have found the Secrets course to be a great value, and I expect even more from the new one. The thing about these courses is that there is a tremendous amount of useful information that I can refer back to whenever I have time. I have had several bass teachers in the last few years, and there are always the scheduling hassles - trying to get times when we are both available - then there is the cost - I usually pay $40 an hour plus gas to get there or pay extra for them to come to me. If I am later trying to do something they taugth me and it doesn't make sense or I don't get it - I have to wait until the next session and take up a lot of that time to review. Plus if there are interruptions - phone calls on their cell phone - or family issues they have to sort out -or their equpment problems, I still have to pay for that time. Not sure what the cost is going to be of the Fretboard course, but I'm sure it's very reasonable compared to $160 a month, plus if I want to review something at 10PM it's all right there. Also, thenks for being available by email to answer my questions. I know you have a lot of students, but I've always received a response pretty quickly. I have great expectations that this course will take me to an advanced level in a short period of time, and also give me a lot more options for designing basslines and improvising. I hope I win, but even if I don't I will be getting the course. Feel free to use any parts of this separately, or the whole thing. Thanks.

I haven't said the price yet because the truth is I haven't 100% decided yet... part of the delay is that we've had to change duplication companies at the last minute :-( and it's now a complex algorithm of how many we think we'll sell on launch day and stuff to haggle best price. I'll be posting a full site soon with all the details.full course breakdown and everything. stay cool bro, and keep it tight over there in the UK... ;-) Alex haha hi Dave, i know you guys are excited about getting the details… I haven’t said the price yet because the truth is I haven’t 100% decided yet… part of the delay is that we’ve had to change duplication companies at the last minute :-( and it’s now a complex algorithm of how many we think we’ll sell on launch day and stuff to haggle best price.
