Who is it for?

As an Intermediate course, this box set is suitable for competent bass players who want to improve their playing skills and ability to produce creative, tasteful bass lines.

If you're not yet ready for the Intermediate course then take a look at the Beginners Worship Bass Course which is available either in a box set or as individual volumes. Some players who are not complete beginners may like to start with volumes 2 or 3.

 

Is there anything ability-wise between Beginners and Intermediate?

Yes, the Song Learner Series is perfect for people who have completed the Beginners DVDs and want to consolidate their playing by learning some great bass parts to other worship songs before progressing to the Intermediate DVDs. The Song Learners are available in 3 DVDs or as individually downloadable online lessons.

 

What else is available to help me practice?

We have a DVD called Worship Backing Band - Musicians Practice Tracks which contains 54 worship songs that you can play along with. Practice is a lot more fun with other people! You can select to take any one instrument out of the mix so you effectively get to play along as the bass player in a pro band.

The DVD shows on-screen words and chords. There is also the option to play along to a click track which will really help develop your timing.

 

Will the DVDs work on my DVD player?

The DVDs are NTSC and coded Region 0 which means they will play anywhere in the world.

 

Can I get a refund if I don't like the DVDs?

Yes, you are also covered by our 100% customer satisfaction guarantee if having received the DVDs you do not feel they are right for you.

 

Are the Intermediate DVDs available as individual volumes?

No, we find that the vast majority of customers at this level prefer to buy a full course so the Intermediate DVDs are only available as a box set.
