Lessons
Bass Guitar
Develop real fretboard awareness by saying each note name out loud as you play. This lesson connects your ears, voice, and hands so you’re not just relying on muscle memory.
Using a C major scale across multiple strings, you’ll strengthen note recognition, pitch awareness, and confidence for reading, transcribing, and playing with others.
Practice on one string first, then expand across the neck — five focused minutes a day builds knowledge you can actually use.
Double Bass
Most players use a metronome as something to follow. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to build a real internal clock—so time comes from you, not the click.
This video is Part 1 of a 3-video series on internal time and metronome practice. Together, these lessons move from foundational concepts to more advanced control of subdivision, placement, and feel.
In this video, we cover:
• How to stop reacting to the metronome
• Playing with the click on every beat
• Internal subdivision
• Sparse-click and drop-out exercises
• Learning to arrive at the click instead of chasing it

The Bass Shed Podcast
Bassist Mark Johnson of Unfaithful Servants talks serving the song, time feel, and longevity, then breaks down the band’s new album Fallen Angel and the thoughtful musicianship behind it.
The first five minutes of practice quietly shape attention, focus, and depth. How you enter a session often matters more than how long you practice—and a deliberate start can change everything that follows.
