Take your bass playing From ‘faking it’ to flawless...
in just 20 minutes a day!
I have some bad news for you...
I’m on to you.
See, if you’re like many of the bass players I talk to, you probably feel like you’re “faking it” with a lot of the material you play. Especially during those up-tempo lines that weave their way along the entire neck.
And guess what? I used to feel the exact same way!
So the good news is, you’re not alone.
And I’m going to show you how you can take your bass playing from “faking it” to flawless right now.
Because I know how frustrating it can be when you can't play those faster, more intricate grooves that those great bassists you've been listening to can play. Let’s be honest: it sounds a little sloppy and uncontrolled.
Now if that sounds familiar, it’s because this is exactly what my playing was like back when I was 24.
I had been a professional bassist for around 5 years at the time.
But my playing had hit a total roadblock
And I couldn't seem to get past it. Every time I thought I fixed one part of my playing, something else would get worse.
You can imagine how frustrating that was, right? And the deeper I dug, the more I realized that my playing was actually a bit of a mess.
I was listening to killer players and wondering…
Until I finally got so frustrated, I threw everything out and went back to basics. And for about half a year, I dedicated every single day to completely revamping my play. I went super “bass nerd” on it.
And that’s when I discovered the root of all my problems. It was my technique.
You see…
Technique is EVERYTHING.
Unless you address your technique head-on, you can waste years or even decades of your time playing whac-a-mole, believing you're trying to solve these problems when the underlying issue is actually your technique.
By now, you probably realize that your “bass technique” is not just one single skill or ability. It’s the combination of many skills. Like your fretboard positioning, plucking finger timing, articulation, and more.
Trying to make sense of all those different elements can be overwhelming. Most bassists don’t even know where to begin. So they wind up chasing random lessons around online. Or they give up altogether and go back to playing the same-old riffs, rhythms, and shapes.
Well that stops now.
Thanks to my groundbreaking Technique Accelerator program, bass players everywhere now have a proven, step-by-step method for developing bulletproof bass technique.
The program breaks down your bass technique into its core skills. Then it shows you the exact order use to master them in record time, along with specific exercises and even how long to spend on each one. (And the best part is, you can do it all in as little as 20 minutes per day.)
With the Technique Accelerator you get a step-by-step roadmap to transform your bass technique, using the method I developed to level up my own technique when I was struggling.
After countless hours in the shed, I discovered that great technique isn’t just one single thing or ability. It’s the combination of multiple skills working together.
And even more, you need to focus on the right elements of your technique in a specific order to see results.
Technique Accelerator hands you a simple, step-by-step roadmap for mastering each of these foundational skills. That way, you can avoid distractions and focus on the skills that will allow you to make the most progress in the shortest time.

Nothing pushes you to develop unstoppable bass technique more than learning melodic bass etudes...
And there’s nothing more fun, either!
That’s why we’ve put together these 27 melodic bass etudes for you. They will push you to dial in your bass technique. AND they will be a blast for you to play.
We have etudes for all skill levels, too. From total beginner to seasoned pro. Plus they also cover virtually every genre. From folk, to classical, to funk, to jazz.

Best of all, each of these 27 etudes has a matching video tutorial that breaks down each piece in detail. So it’s like your very own teacher is taking you by the hand and not only demonstrating these etudes for you — but also showing you exactly how to play them.

The Ultimate Practice Course For Bassists
This 6-lesson mini workshop shows you how to squeeze twice the results out of your practice routine — in half the time. In The Ultimate Practice Course For Bassists, you’ll discover…
- How you can make virtually everything you practice “stick” right away — simply by adopting the mindset of your local seamstress…
- Why the most important part of your practice routine actually has nothing to do with playing…and everything to do with writing…
- Plus a whole lot more…
So the value for this course is easily $97.00. Yet once again, you can get it for no cost when you claim your spot in The Technique Accelerator before time expires.
Scott’s Technique Practice Sessions
Join me behind the scenes during the first 4 modules of the course with these practice session videos...
Watch as I work through the exercises myself. Because it’s one thing to watch me as the instructor in the course…
But when you also get to see me as the student, it gives you an even better understanding for each lesson and exercises. And that will help you make even faster progress through the program.
I’ve made this small investment a no-brainer for you…
Many of our students have shared that they would happily pay $1,000.00 or more for the transformative results they achieved with our programs.
Now, consider this: If you were to cover the same comprehensive material with a local bass tutor, it would easily cost you a minimum of $1,300.00. That’s not an exaggeration—that’s a conservative estimate. Private lessons add up quickly, both in your time and your money.
But I don’t want you to spend $1,300.00. I don’t even want you to pay $999.00. Instead, I’m offering you complete access to the entire Technique Accelerator program for one payment of just $249 today. I want this to be affordable and fast so you can focus on creating amazing music.
100% Risk-Free Guarantee
I get it — diving into a new course can feel like stepping into uncharted waters. That’s why I want you to experience the Technique Accelerator worry-free.
You’re protected by my 30 Day, 100% Money-back Guarantee so you’ll feel confident trying the Technique Accelerator.
If, within the first 30 days, you're not thrilled with the program, simply email our friendly Student Success team for a complete refund.
Which path will you choose?
Do you know what the difference is between those who dream about making great music and those who actually do it?
The difference is action.
And nothing makes it easier to take action than having a simple, step-by-step program in front of you that removes all the guesswork.
So you’ve got an important choice to make today between two very different paths forward…
Path 1
Figure it out alone
You could try to keep trying to figure things out on your own. But be honest — how well has that been working for you?
Are you really making the kind of progress you hope for with your bass playing? Or have you been stuck spinning in circles for weeks, months or even years?
