Yet, Something

Is Holding You Back

Do You Identify With These Common Feelings Of Doubt?

SABBOTAGING

SELF-DOUBT

You've grappled with the belief that you might not have the innate talent, have started learning too late in life, or don’t have anywhere close to enough time to practice.

SISYPHEAN

STRUGGLE

Perhaps you’ve hit the dreaded playing plateau, feel frustrated that your progress has hit a wall, and are still stuck no matter how much you practice.

STATE OF

UNCERTAINTY

You feel like you have no idea what you need to be practicing, every YouTube video making you more confused, and are overwhelmed with everything you "should" be practicing.

THE TRUE SECRET TO BASS BEASTHOOD ISN'T:


MYTH #1: Being Born a Beast:

Comparison is the paralyzer on the path and often leads to putting in less effort in practice and skill development, assuming that your perceived lack of talent means that you won't improve significantly.


MYTH #2: You Don't Have Time To Start:

While there is no such thing as the "perfect" practice routine, effective practice is more important than endlessly practicing for hours on end. You will never have "enough" time in your schedule to practice - the perfect time to start is NOW!


MYTH #3: You Can't Afford Quality Gear:

Having good gear is nice, but all the gear in the world is worthless if you can't play it!

Focussing on maximizing your current equipment encourages you to explore your equipment's full potential while allowing for allocated more time, money, and energy towards developing your skills and bass-playing capabilities.
