MOST BASSISTS
NEVER ESCAPE
THE SLOP LOOP
Enrollment Now Open
Have you ever felt like your technique is holding you back?
If your playing feels messy…
If faster lines fall apart…
If everything feels tense…
If you can’t even imagine playing clean 16th-note funk grooves…
If your hands won’t do what your brain hears…
If you still sound a bit… beginner-ish…
after way too long (maybe even years).
It’s not because you’re untalented.
And it’s not because you haven’t practiced enough.
It’s because (like most bass players)
you’re stuck inside what I call:
The Slop Loop Prison
Where:
Not because you did something wrong…
…but because no one ever showed you how to build technique properly in the first place.
The Uncomfortable Truth Most Bassists Never Hear
If you’re stuck in the Slop Loop, you don’t slowly drift out of it.
You don’t “practice your way free.”
You don’t magically clean things up with time.
You stay there.
For years.
Often forever.
That’s why you see bass players who’ve been playing 5… 10… even 20+ years —
who still sound tense, messy, and inconsistent the moment things get demanding.
It’s not because they’re lazy.
It’s not because they don’t care.
And it’s definitely not because they’re “not talented enough.”
It’s because once sloppy technique sets in… everything gets glued together.
Your hands learn to compensate.
Your brain learns to work around the problems.
Your playing becomes just “good enough” to survive — but never clean enough to feel free.
So when you try to play:
It falls apart.
Not occasionally.
Reliably. Every time.
And here’s the part most people don’t realise:
The Slop Loop doesn’t feel like failure.
It feels like:
… “I just need to practice more.”
… “I’m probably overthinking this.”
… “Maybe I’m just not built for fast stuff.”
… “I’ll clean it up later.”
That’s why it’s a prison.
Because while you’re inside it…
nothing actually improves — it just gets disguised.
You can learn more songs.
You can learn more theory.
But the moment the music asks more of you —
your technique taps out.
And unless something fundamentally changes…
It always will.
Why “Just Practice More” Makes It Much Worse
This is where most bass players accidentally lock themselves deeper into the Slop Loop.
Because when their playing feels messy, tense, or unreliable…
they do the most logical thing in the world:
They practice more.
More licks.
More songs.
More grooves.
Higher tempos.
Longer sessions.
And on the surface, it feels productive.
But here’s the brutal truth:
General practice does NOT fix technical problems. It cements them.
Here's why:
Every time you practice with sloppy mechanics — even slightly sloppy —
you’re not “working through it.”
You’re training your motor cortex to reproduce the slop automatically.
Think about what’s actually happening:
And instead of isolating and fixing those things…
You keep playing music around them.
That’s not progress.
That’s adaptation.
You get better at surviving with broken technique.
Which is why so many bass players can:
But the moment the music asks for more?
Faster lines.
Cleaner articulation.
16th-note funk.
Tight fills.
Controlled dynamics.
Everything collapses.
And here’s the part no one tells you:
That’s like going to the gym and saying,
“I want a stronger body.”
…but never training the one weak muscle that’s actually limiting you.
You might get fitter.
You might get tired.
You might feel like you’ve “worked hard.”
But the weakness stays.
On bass, it’s the same.
If your issue is:
Then playing more music doesn’t fix it.
It teaches your hands to hide it better.
Which is why “practice more” feels responsible…
but keeps players stuck for decades.
Not because they’re doing nothing —
but because they’re doing the wrong thing, perfectly consistently.
And once those compensations are baked in?
They don’t fade with time.
They harden.
That’s how the Slop Loop Prison gets reinforced.
That’s how you get stuck in there forever.
The Science Behind Why Your Playing is Broken
The problem isn’t that you haven’t practiced enough.
And it’s not that you “lack talent.”
The problem is that you were never taught how the body actually learns complex movement.
Because bass playing isn’t one skill.
It’s a stack of complex motor tasks happening at the same time.
From day one, bass players are taught to do everything at once:
All simultaneously.
And here’s what almost nobody realises…
This is the part of your brain responsible for learning, storing, and refining physical movement.
And it has one hard rule:
When you ask it to fix five things at once…
it doesn’t improve them.
It locks in whatever pattern already exists.
Even if that pattern is sloppy.
Even if it’s tense.
Even if it’s inefficient.
So instead of improving, something else happens.
Not because they’re good…
…but because they work well enough to get through the line.
And this is where players get stuck forever.
Broken technique gets bundled.
Plucking problems hide inside fretting problems.
Muting problems hide inside groove.
Tension hides inside “trying harder.”
Everything gets glued together.
So nothing can ever be fixed individually.
This is the real reason most bass players never escape what I call
The Slop Loop Prison.
They’re not failing to improve.
They’re unknowingly overwhelming the very system that needs simplicity in order to change.
And after long enough, something scary happens…
Sloppy starts to feel “normal.”
Tension feels “necessary.”
Inconsistency feels like “just how bass is.”
Until one day you realise:
You’ve been playing for years……and you still sound sloppy.
The Breakthrough Realisation
Technique is not one skill.
It’s a system.
And systems cannot be repaired while they’re running at full speed.
You don’t fix an engine by flooring the accelerator. You shut it down. Take it apart.
Fix one component at a time.
Then rebuild it — clean.
When I finally understood this, everything changed.
The moment I stopped practicing music…
and started isolating movement…
Fretting hand
Muting
Shifting
String crossing
Pressure
Speed mechanics
Articulations
New, efficient programs could finally form.
And the results weren’t subtle.
Noise disappeared.
Movements got smaller.
Speed felt lighter.
Control showed up without effort.
The biggest shock?
Nothing I thought was “hard” on bass was actually hard.
It was just being attempted on a broken foundation.
That’s the moment the prison door unlocked.
Not with more hours. Not with more discipline.
But with a completely different way of thinking about technique.
How I Know This Really Works
(Because I Was Trapped Too)
Here’s the part that matters most.
I didn’t create this system because I wanted to teach technique.
I created it because my own playing was falling apart — and nothing I’d been taught was fixing it.
By my early 20s, I was already a full-time professional bassist.
I could read.
I knew theory.
I had gigs.
I had credentials.
From the outside, I looked “good enough.”
But behind the scenes?
My playing felt totally stuck.
Fast lines collapsed.
Noise crept in everywhere.
My hands felt tense and unreliable.
And under pressure… things got sloppy.
The worst part?
I couldn’t explain why.
I was doing what every serious bassist does:
Practicing more
Pushing tempos
Grinding harder
Learning harder material
And it just made things worse.
That phase lasted over two years.
Two years of wondering:
“How can I be this experienced… and still feel this stuck?!”
That’s when the uncomfortable truth hit me:
I wasn’t bad.
I wasn’t lazy.
And I hadn’t hit my ceiling.
I was just practicing inside the Slop Loop Prison — exactly like everyone else.
I had been trained to bundle technique from day one.
So instead of fixing anything properly…
I was reinforcing bad mechanics at higher and higher speeds.
That’s when I did something most players never do.
I stopped practicing music.
Completely.
And I started taking my technique apart one system at a time.
No songs.
No groove.
No hiding.
Just clean, focused work on one dial at a time.
It took months to design the exercises.
And about six months of applying them consistently.
But when it clicked…
It was honestly shocking.
My hands stopped fighting the bass.
Speed showed up without force.
Control replaced tension.
Noise disappeared.
And suddenly… everything felt easy.
Not because I was “better.”
But because I’d rebuilt my technique from the ground up.
That moment changed everything.
Not just how I played —
but how I understood bass.
I realised something that most players never discover:
Once technique is un-glued — everything else becomes available.
Speed.
Dynamics.
Confidence.
Freedom.
That’s when I started teaching this approach privately.
And the same thing kept happening.
Players who’d been stuck for:
5 years
10 years
20+ years
Would suddenly say things like:
“Why did no one ever explain it like this?”
“This feels easier in weeks than it ever did before.”
“I thought I was the problem.”
They weren’t the problem.
They were just trained inside the prison.
That’s why this system exists.
Not as a theory.
Not as a shortcut.
Not as motivation.
But as a way out.
Once you understand what’s actually causing the Slop Loop, the solution becomes obvious.
You don't need:
You need a way to un-glue your technique (and your motor-cortex!).
That’s why I created The Technique Accelerator.
Not as another “play this faster” course.
Not as a grab-bag of exercises.
But as a systematic way to dismantle the Slop Loop Prison from the inside.
You cannot fix technique while everything is bundled.
This is the exact process I used to rebuild my own playing — and the same one I’ve used with thousands of bass players since.
How the System Works
PHASE 1:
Un-Glue the System
Instead of treating technique as one big, fuzzy problem, we break it into its individual movement systems, including:
Each system is trained on its own.
No songs.
No grooves.
No distractions.
This gives your motor cortex exactly what it needs:
This is where tension stops being “normal” — and starts disappearing.
PHASE 2:
Stabilise Each Dial
Every system comes with laser-focused exercises designed to do one thing:
… Build clean, repeatable movement without compensation.
You’re never trying to fix five things at once.
You’re fixing one dial until it works automatically.
This is where:
PHASE 3:
Rebuild — Clean
Once the individual systems are stable, something powerful happens.
They reconnect — without re-bundling the slop.
Your playing starts to feel:
Fast lines stop collapsing.
16th-note grooves stop feeling scary.
Your hands stop fighting the bass.
Not because you practiced more —but because your foundation finally works.

The Ultimate Practice Framework for your Technique
The 20-Minute Rule
The Technique Accelerator is built around ~20 minutes of focused practice per day.
That’s not a limitation.
It’s a feature.
Short, precise sessions:
This is why players feel changes fast — often within the first few weeks.
What This Is (And Isn’t)
It’s how you permanently escape the Slop Loop Prison.
This Isn’t Theory — It’s Been Pressure-Tested for Years.
At this point, one question should be floating around in your head:
“OK… but does this actually work in the real world?”
Fair question.
Because the Technique Accelerator isn’t a thought experiment.
It’s not a new idea.
And it’s definitely not untested.
This system has been quietly doing its job for a long time.
Over 20,000 Bass Players Have Been Through This System
Over 20,000 bass players — across all styles, levels, and backgrounds — have worked through this exact approach to fixing their technique.
Players who:
And experienced the same thing:
👉 Things that used to feel hard… suddenly didn’t.
Used Quietly by Working Pros (For a Reason)
Here’s something interesting.
While this isn’t my most mass-market program…
It is the one that more working professionals and high-level players have gone through than almost any other Accelerator I’ve released.
Some of them very well known.
Some of them household names.
I can’t mention names — for obvious reasons.
But here’s what matters:
They didn’t come here to learn licks.
They didn’t need more theory.
And they definitely weren’t beginners.
They came because they understood something most players never do:
When technique is even slightly off…
it caps everything.
Speed. Control. Consistency. Dynamics. Confidence.
So instead of grinding harder…
they fixed the foundation.
Quietly.
Systematically.
Properly.
What Players Actually Say
“I’ve been playing bass for over 8 years and always felt like my hands were holding me back. Within the first couple of weeks, my playing felt cleaner, lighter, faster and way more controlled. I honestly wish I’d done this years ago.”
— Mark S
“By week four I could already feel the difference. Less noise. Less effort. Faster lines stopped falling apart. It was obvious something big had shifted.”
— Jason R
“I didn’t realise how much tension I was carrying until it was gone! Everything feels easier now… even stuff I used to avoid.”
— Chris D
“I’m a working bassist and honestly embarrassed it took me this long to fix my technique. This cleaned up years of bad habits faster than anything I’ve tried.”
— Ben K
These aren’t beginners discovering bass for the first time.
These are players who already put the hours in — and finally fixed what was holding them back.
Why This Works When Other Things Don’t
This system doesn’t rely on:
- Motivation
- Discipline
- Talent
- Willpower
It works because it aligns with how the body actually learns complex movement.
When you:
Progress becomes predictable.
That’s not hype.
That’s physiology.
And it’s why this approach keeps working — year after year, player after player.

It’s applied work — while it actually matters.
Why Most Players Still Fail With “Great” Programs
(And How This Fixes That)
Let me be straight with you.
Most bass players don’t fail because the material is bad.
They fail because implementation breaks down.
Here’s the pattern I’ve seen for years:
People buy a solid program.
They’re excited.
They start strong.
Then…
Life gets busy.
Practice becomes inconsistent.
Small technical mistakes go unchecked.
Momentum fades.
Not because they don’t care —
but because nobody’s watching the details that actually matter.
That’s exactly why guided practice exists inside the Technique Accelerator.
Not as motivation.
Not as hype.
Not as “rah rah accountability.”
But as a structure that protects progress.
Why This Matters More Than People Expect
Here’s the truth most players don’t want to hear:
Technique doesn’t fall apart because people don’t know what to do.
It falls apart because:
And once that happens?
You’re back inside the Slop Loop — without even realising it.
Our Guided Practice sessions interrupt that cycle.
They:
This is how change actually sticks.

Who This is For
Let’s make this simple.
The Technique Accelerator is for bass players who are already up and running…
…but feel like their hands are the bottleneck.
This program is for you if:
It works whether you’re
Beginner → Advanced.
Because the exercises scale.
Beginners build clean habits from day one.
Intermediate players strip away years of built-up slop.
Advanced players remove inefficiency and hidden tension.
Same system.
Different entry point.
This is NOT for you if…
This program requires precision.
It requires attention.
It requires doing things correctly.
But not endlessly.
Not obsessively.
Just intentionally.
The Real Question
Are you willing to fix the foundation once… so you never have to fight your technique again?
If the answer is yes —
If the answer is “I’ll sort it out someday”…
Then you already know how that story goes.

Why I Offer This Guarantee
Because this isn’t hype.
This isn’t “watch and hope.”
This is applied motor learning.
If you isolate the weak links…
Fix one dial at a time…
And practice correctly for four weeks…
You will feel a difference.
Not because you believed harder.
Not because you tried harder.
But because your motor cortex finally had room to learn properly.
And if for some reason it doesn’t click for you?
You’re not stuck with it.
That’s the deal.
The Real Risk
The real risk isn’t joining.
The real risk is staying inside the Slop Loop for another year…
and telling yourself you’ll “sort it out later.”
You won’t.
Not without changing how you approach the bass.
So try it properly.
30 days.
Real practice.
Real feedback.
Zero risk.
This is the Moment Most Bass Players Avoid.
Right now, you know something most bass players never realise:
You don’t have a motivation problem.
You don’t have a time problem.
You don’t have a talent problem.
You have a system problem.
And systems don’t fix themselves.
If you do nothing…
You’ll keep playing.
You’ll keep practicing.
You’ll keep sounding “pretty good.”
And every time something demanding shows up —
fast 16ths…
tight funk…
clean articulation at speed…
The same ceiling will be there.
Not because you can’t.
But because the foundation was never rebuilt.
Two Paths
Path 1
Figure it out alone
Do what you’ve always done.
Hope it cleans up.
Work around it.
Live inside the Slop Loop quietly.
This isn’t about buying another program.
It’s about deciding whether you’re done living inside glued-up technique.
The Truth.
Most bass players will scroll past this.
Not because they disagree. But because change requires a decision. And most people avoid decisions that expose their foundation.
But if you’re still reading?
You already know. You don’t want to be “pretty good.”
You want clean. Controlled. Effortless.
You want your hands to do what your brain hears.
That doesn’t come from more time.
It comes from breaking the loop, stepping out of it for good, and smashing through the ceiling that’s been limiting you for way too long.
