  1. Hi Samson.

    I would like to ask you how i can purchase your bass trainning materials i am dying to have it.Problem is i cant do it over the net.I am based in the uk.

    Many thanx

      1. hey Alex’ man im very impress with the way you handle your bass and stuff and interested in bying the course but im wonderring if you would have something specific for beginners. Do you carry these lessons on video please let me know.

  2. I could not hear the bass very well. Perhaps it is because my laptop has lousy sound, but it pretty amazing for a laptop. I enjoyed the video none the less, as it brought back to me the years that I went to jazz clubs in Miami. Nice six string bass, what kind may I ask? and what kind of strings? Bass is not my only instrument, and not my main one. Guitar and keyboards, well, actually my voice is my main instrument and guitar is second. The fretboard that I have learned for over 40 years that I have been playing is coming to life. I play things now that I never could before. Thanks to the good lessons at Wholenote.com. I recently joined ActiveBass.com, another great site. And now Alex has created this site. I wish you good luck, good health, and fortune.

  3. I enjoyed the video very much. It was very enteresting watching his hand movements and picking with four fingers. Since I’m just stating to learn the bass I was glued to the video. Is their videos like that available for purchase?

  5. Dude,

    I was so skeptical of your course when I saw it online. But know I’m a believer. I love the course, the add ons the videos, everything. You are truly a gifted bass player and teacher. Keep up the great work. You are also honest and fair. God will bless you my brother. I have family in Texas mostly in San Antonio. I hope to meet you some day.

  6. Alex,

    Am really sorry for being such a skeptic. I’ve have so much wrong things done to me over the internet that I have became a skeptic. But as of that day Jan. 18th you sent me this email with Take 5 video break down . man … I have no doubt now that you know what you are doing and you are not trying to pull a fast one on me. you definitely know your stuff. now the load is off my chest I’ll be purchasing the Bass Secret system soon. I must tell my other bass and guitar buddies. yes.. this stuff can work for guitar players too. I love your teaching. Its clear and anyone can understand it. Its repetitive, and that’s good teaching method. I have not seen your system yet but I can tell you right now that Video lessons like this will do allot, especially for people like me who is very visual. Thanks for that vid intro. looking forward to start working with you (as a student that is..)

  7. Alex,
    I am so glad that I made the decision to buy your course, I am a beginner and I have only just started on it and I am amazed at how you emplane things so clearly and in an understandable way that make it both enjoyable and quickly to grasp your every word.
    I had been trying to learn the bass for quite a while and just kept going around in circles trying to understand Chords ect, But all other books and video’s that I have read and looked at always left me trying to grasp what they were saying.
    But know thanks to you and your course and now your blog has lifted the vale that was covering my mind to the concepts of learning the Bass and Music. I recommend that everyone should do your course, now matter what level they are at, as it will help everyone. Thank you Alex, you are the best.

  8. Alex,

    When I ordered your course I was a little skeptical, like I’m sure a lot of other people out there were too. I cannot not believe how you break things down to a level that everyone can understand. I just finished the 1st book but I am going to go back over it again just in case I missed something. This is the best money I have spent in a long time. I am really excited to see what you have in vol 2. I also have to tell you that I am really impressed with your support group. I had a question and it was answered right away in terms that I could understand.

    God Bless and Happy Fathers Day.

  9. Hello Alex
    I remembered when I first got an email from BGS and saw a price for a little over $300.00. I said to myself then “that is too much”. Well, I later ordered it for $100.00. Thank God I got it for $100.00, but it is worth over $300.00. I play for my church choir and when I look at the congrgation and see members dancing to my beat in the name of Jesus fills me with joy. Using your technique has tremendeously improved my playing. I am only on lesson 5 in volume 2. In my book, you are a genius. I pray that God continue to bless you to help others. Thanks to you and crew.

  10. Alex, I write this in salute to the incredible job you have done in creating a remarkable training program for those who want to master the low end. I wish that I could convey how effectively you have communicated the essential skills and knowledge necessary for understanding the Bass Guitar for what it is: “a musical puppet master”. I’m sure everyone has gone through the skepticism of the promises made by the ads for music training programs (I mean seriously, do they all have to look and sound alike?). Even after getting the tenth email and downloaded the sample lessons, I still wasn’t sure it wasn’t just another clever scheme to part a fool from his (my) money. I finally decided to go for it, and it was well worth every penny. For all you first timers who choose to download the system: make sure you print the manuals in color; it makes a huge difference.

    Alex, everything you teach us is spot on! I spent my first year practicing behind a closed door. When I finally ventured out to play in front of other people, they could not believe that I learned all that I had from reading a book. Later on, I discovered that I was more grounded in music theory than others who had been playing for years. Most importantly, because I was prepared to work from chord sheets and understood the fundamentals of chord harmonization, I was able to play a couple of tasty bass lines that made our drummer arch his eyebrows and nod his head in approval.

    Alex, you have done well by your craft. I hope one day to see you on TV or in a music video, and be able to say, “Hey, that’s my teacher!”

  11. I lost my username and password . I tried to use the “contact link” but nothing happened. I received the e mail with the 4 tracks, but when I try to open them nothing happens. Could you please try to send them to me again? LOVE YOUR COURSE!!!!!

  12. I would like to win the contest for fret board formula
    because of what I know it will do for me when it come to playing the bass and making improvments. Ypur other program “Bass guitar secrets” is so well written that I improved over night everynight In the past year I bought alot of Guitar books and Bass books as well as vidios with cd and such (about $1800) but none of them help me or shall I say none of them answered the question I had as complete as your program. Now I work with my bass about 10 hrs a day everyday my dad and I preform 2-3 night a week.
    I would like to tell you my whole story but I will just give you the just of it .
    About 1 yera ago I desided that I would learn to play the guitar and play for my dad for a christmas gift even tho I played several instrument and was a music teacher I could not play the guitar now my dad is 80 years old and he has been playing for 70 years and play as well as any guitarest I have ever heard
    and I’ve heard alot…neverthe less istarted studing guitar then bass I had sxome good teachers but for what ever reason they did not progress quickly enough for me ….time went by 15 week christmas came I played for my dad he then smoked me on the guitar I went back 7 days later played bass he said ok 7days later we played for some folks….ayear later we formed popferguson and the blues revue.. ..but I was not happy with my progress even tho people would say “We can’t beleave you’ve only been playing…. now they are saying it again all because of what I’ve learned from your bass guitar secrets ect… I work very hard at the music i play Blues(1850-1950) Gospel,some early R&B. But I jam with young guy and also ues music to reach them so I can teach them about Christ. Thats why I need to progress as quickly as possible needlesstosay if Idon’t win I will buy it but either wayI will ues it and pormote it if it is as well writtrn as the first porgram.

    I will be on the road, and will not be able to buy at noon on wednesday. I do want the program so what do I do? I will not be able to access a computer until around 2pm. Please get back with me thanks.

    ALEX

  14. Alex;

    You haven’t indicated how much shipping & handling it will cost to ship your new “FRETBOARD FORMULA” to Ontario Canada.
    It would be most appreciated if you or one of your staff could let me know.

    Thanks

    Ken Grady

  15. I have your first course, love it…but i’m retired and have a limited income. Am I eligible for a free copy of your new course? or is it too late? otherwise i’ll have to save up for it. You’re helping me hang on to my dream for a while longer, and it’s very possible now that I’ll have a group to playing before I’m done. Thanks and keep up the great work.

  16. I’m sick–sick–sick. I tried to order the Gold package of the Fretboard Formula, but my order would not go through. I tried the info you had to enable the cookies, but it did not work. Please advise if there is another method of ordering. I really want this . Help–Help–Help.

  17. hi alex, i missed out on the fretboard formula, i’m just wondering if in the future you would be making this course available again. it would be great if it was made available vari download. i’m sure those oversea’s would welcome it,
    josh

  18. Alex or Hume it may concern I would have bought the fret board formula when it came out however I am on a fixed income. I would be nice that in the future you offer a credit card payment program. Please let me know if that is available .Thanks Tom Chesney.

  19. i ordered your tips & life being what it is let it sit in my email box for too long—- this is wonderful — the best of new year to you & i am so looking forward to catching up.

  20. Alex..Thank you. I am a 53 year old self taught bass player. I started 6 years ago because playing the bass was on my “bucket list”. No am perfectly healthy. I have paid as much as $60.00 for 45 minutes with teachers in the past. But some other thing in their lives always had them moving on. So I stopped playing for a awhile. Then I saw your course on the net. I have purchased or downloaded everything. WOW!! If the skeptics only knew! You have packaged thousands of dollars and years worth of music education into a very affordable package under $300.00 total. Any real musician knows that music and its study is a lifes journey and should be approached that way. Thank you for providing me with tools to achieve my musical goals. You have laid out a practice regime for my hands, mind and ears. It will use it diligently and follow your on line teaching. Perhaps some day I could get inperson instruction from you. Thanks again Gene

  21. Not sure how many female students you have under your wing but wanted to let you know I appreciate all the breakdowns. Very helpful. Also your speaking my language when you talk numbers. I’ve never really played by letter names or by chords so that has expanded my knowledge and helped me learn to play around the chord. I want to be able to take the theory and “funk it up”. Don’t stop

  22. Well Alex I must say This course is the best and greateat thing for learning the bass guitar.
    For a young man you have the wisdom and knowlage of a person who’s been at this for over 40 years. I mean that in the most humblest way.
    The course has me working out of my bad habits and relpaceing them with the correct habits. I’m not seeing too much improvment yet, but I know that after contenued practice, and my brain put it all togeather Look Out The Kid will be in the house. I’m Going to stick with it from here on out.

  23. Hey Alex,
    I dont know how many young guys you have checking this stuff out, but i have been searching things everywhere for beginner things on the bass. i know a little bit about bass and with the samples that i have had, i have started seeing results and its only been the second day. I have been self taught for about 2 years, and i dont know if i am doing things wrong or right. Just trying to follow the things you have to say, and understand them as fast as i can.

    Thanks again, God bless

  24. Hi Alex, I’m a drummer who wants to become a bassist, I’ve bought myself a good bass and a combo, now the problem is where to start from, need help please. I’ve been able to learn the bass neck thanks to absolute beginner bass dvd, my other problem is how to understand all these the of different progressions and most of all how to play a song when i hear it, NEED BIG HELP. Where should i START?

  25. Hi Alex,

    Just wanted to drop you this link I found while surfing the web

    http://www.bassguitarcourses.com/reviews/bass-guitar-secrets-review.html

    I missed out on the fretboard formula !! Is it going to be available again? I need to admit that I was not very diligent on my first time through Volume one. So I started over.

    My biggest problem was I would not practice at all for a couple weeks then just do a marathon session to “catch up”. Well that didn’t work….. I got into playing late in the game (almost 50). I kick myself now because it has been 2 years since I got the course. Yeah I can play a basic song but that seemed so bland. I got back on course last week. I now understand the concept of PRACTICE. Following the course teaches you “HOW” to play correctly !!

    Thanks,

    Butch

  26. I don’t have sound on the web so I was wondering if there is a download of your videos

    Thanks

  27. I must have a copy of gospel bass asap if that is posible, I play gospel and thats all
    I have fretboard formula already and it is tight, very tight. Please let me know how you will make that possible for me.

    Thank You
    Alex

  28. Hi Alex, it been four days now since i have recieved my fretboard formular, and what a great produce it is. this is what i’ve been looking for to improve my bass playing. i have a long way to go yet, to get it all under my fingers and into my mind.

    thank u Alex
    every blessing

    oh by the way is it possible to get a copy of the gospel bass?

  29. Alex,

    Thanks for all the work that you do and have done. I have the Fretboard Formula and the Bass Chopz Accelerator. They are great products and have improved my knowledge and ability daily.

    I hope all is well with you and family. I trust you have a new baby now! Congratz.

  30. What up,

    I would like to buy the gospel video that you have, so please send me the info to buy it thanks.

  31. It’s been about 30 years since I last picked up a bass. I am looking forward to your lessons to get some real time demo’s on just how much can be done. We are all limited by our experiences, so the more the better. I love your whole approach to sharing techniques, especially the breaking them down to the basics.

    Thank you Alex,
    JIm

  32. Alex,

    I am really digging these lessons. I started on bass when I was 8, then moved to Alto, then Euphonium, became a band/orchestra director, but have recently re-discovered my first love…the bass. When I was a kid, I thought that I was Pops Popwell or Verdeen White…LOL.

    anyway, I am thinking of ordering some of your materials, but there seems to be so much that I don’t know where to start. Can you give me a quick breakdown of all of the materials and how they can help?

    Ex.

  33. Hi Alex… do you do a digital download for the Fretboard formula? Also are you doing a gospel dvd?

  34. Hi Alex,

    I just purchased Bass Guitar Secrets and I am eager for it to arrive. One problem is that I tried to purchase trhe Jan Trax Software, but was unable to complete the purchase because of some glitch that kept referring me back to the vendor. Am I the only person having this problem or is the problem in the purchasing window. I do not want to miss out on the great discount you provided because of a glitch. Please let me know if there is a problem.

    Thanks again,

    Jack

    P.S. What about that Gospel Bass Project? My primary music is Contemporary Praise and Worship, Gospel and Hymns.

  35. Alex;
    Congrats on the lovely child. I know that she is a joy. I am just starting to play bass and have purchased both the “Bass Guitar Secrets” and “Fretboard Formula”. Sometimes I feel as if I am in over my head. What should I do? Some things you explain are just too advanced for me. Is there a more basic lesson I should start with? HELP PLEASE. I really want to play
