How SBL Turned Me Into an Actually Literate Musician

I joined SBL four years ago as a intermediate bassist thinking I’d just get better at bass. Turns out that wasn’t really what happened.
The real shift came from how the platform treats music literacy as central, not peripheral. Working through the different pathways and courses forced me to actually understand what I was playing instead of just executing patterns.

I’m obviously a better bassist now, but more than that, I’m just a better musician. My understanding of music has broadened way beyond bass. If you’re intermediate and serious about actually improving rather than just going through neverending YouTube content, SBL is worth it.

Keep coming back to SBL

Because of my financial situation. I’ve joined for a couple months here and I’d have to cancel for the above reason. I keep coming back though as matter of fact that’s what I’m doing right now!

Catchy classes

what I love the most about SBL is that classes are very attractive and catchy, it makes you want to learn more and even when you are already an experienced musician you still learn.

Great approach to learning, and tons of content!

i really like their charts based approach to learning to play. You're not just memorizing scales and chords-you are actually playing stuff. Simple at first, then progressively more challenging. This is the second time I've tried to study bass and it's working out way better than before! And there is tons of content, and ability to post in forums as well as upload your playing for critique. I've been on here about 2 months now and it's really helped me learn and progress!

was there any doubt?! SBL #1

they are and have the best online teachers for the bass guitar. not just because of their names, but because of their down to earth, very likeable personalities and their expansive knowledge of all things bass. after only a year, my playing has only just begun to get better!

This is the best bass school there is.

This is the best bass school there is. I was a music major in college then went to M.I. (when it was still a jazz school). SBL IS BETTER!
It doesn't matter what level you are. So many courses.So many live interactions.
SBL is the ONLY way to go.
