Since 2009, Roy Vogt’s Teach Me Bass Guitar (TMBG) has been acknowledged as the world’s best course of self-paced bass guitar instruction, and it’s now available in two formats – download/streaming and the traditional, award-winning 10 DVD package.
TMBG makes it more convenient than ever to pick up the bass and learn. And TMBG students are never dependent on someone else’s schedule. When they’re ready to learn, Roy – one of the world’s foremost player/instructors – is a button-click away. Roy takes students from lesson to lesson, each building on the skills taught in the one before it, preventing the missing gaps and pitfalls of jumping from instructor to instructor. (Estimated completion time: 18 months – 3 years).*

Bundle Sets
– Beginner Bundle. The first six lessons of Teach Me Bass Guitar introduce the instrument, the fundamentals of music, and the role of the bass guitar. By the time Lesson 6 is completed, the student will have learned the rudiments of what to play, how to play, when to play, and, just as important, when not to play. From Lesson 2 on, Roy joins the amazing TMBG band of A-list Nashville studio musicians to play through a song specially written to illustrate the principles of that Lesson, then steps aside to let the student increase skill and confidence by playing with the band, at both slow and fast speeds! (Estimated completion time: 6 – 9 months).*
– Intermediate Bundle. The seven Intermediate lessons of Teach Me Bass Guitar take the student through more advanced musical concepts, improvisation, playing with a vocalist, and how the bass can best be adapted to various musical styles, including jazz, blues, country, and funk. By the time Lesson 13 is completed, the student will know scales, patterns, and sight-reading, and have a fairly good grasp of music theory. (Estimated completion time: 6 – 9 months).*
– Advanced Bundle. The seven-lesson Advanced bundle, Lessons 14 thru 20 of Teach Me Bass Guitar, are for those who have completed Lessons 1-13 or who, through years of playing, have acquired the knowledge embodied in those lessons. In 14-20, Roy digs deep into the Pro-Player Toolkit with tips and tricks – such as the Nashville Number System – that, when mastered, will let students comfortably hold their own on any stage, or in any studio, with complete confidence. (Estimated completion time: 6 – 9 months).*
Individual Lessons
Teach Me Bass Guitar offers the option of downloading/streaming one lesson at a time. When each lesson is mastered, the next is just a click away! (Estimated completion time per Lesson, 1 -2 months*).
