- Too bad I didn't have these DVDs 20 years ago | Review by Bassist
-
I love to play the bass in my church, and all I knew was not much. I was a beginner for many, many years.Ease Of Use Effectiveness Value
I spent a lot of money before, buying expensive books hoping to learn more but in the end they collected dust on the shelf or went for recycle long time ago.
...So I decided to give a try at first buying the Worship Bass Beginners and in less than a month I bought the Worship Bass Intermediate all three DVD's, The Song Learner Series for Bass all three DVD's and the Advanced Bass in Worship 3 DVD Box Set.
Trust me, every penny was worth it.
If you want to save money go ahead and buy those DVD's you won't be disappointed.
I wish I had them 20 years ago.
God Bless you all at Musicademy for doing such a great job producing those videos for all of us who want to Praise God in our Churches.

Recommend split screen so that both hands are visable. This would help since there is advanced technique in both handsEase Of Use Effectiveness Value
Musicademy replies:
Good point Joe. We try to show close ups of both hands at full screen. The trouble with split screen is that you reduce the size of each mini screen by a lot more than half. That can make it quite difficult to follow. But we'll bear that in mind for future projects.

-
This was an excellent resource for our young bass players. I taught them from knowing how to play/ teach guitar but with that limited experience, they were limited. But this DVD gave them GREAT practical tips that apply to tons of worship tunes. THANKS SO MUCH for supplying this excellent resource for worship!Ease Of Use Effectiveness Value

-
The combination of Matt playing the notes slowly and naming them aloud and playing to the track makes for a great learning experience that is easy to follow and grasp.Ease Of Use Effectiveness Value
Also really like the option of playing the track with bass and w/o bass.
A well put together video overall!!

J'ai utilisé le dvd advanced bass, juste excellent, il permet de jouer de manière différente sans trop d'effort, et je commence déja à l'adapter avec d'autres chants. Je vais acheter celui pour les claviers car je suis un peu rigide dessus et je finirais par le chant car cela fait 20 ans que je loue le seigneur mais j'ai jamais fait l'effort de travailler ma voix et on m'y pousse de plus en plus.Merci pour vos articles très pertinants.Que Dieu vous bénisse et vous fasse prospérer.Ease Of Use Effectiveness Value

-
This is a great resource for bass players at all levels. We bought Beginner and Advance Bass and have benefitted by them greatly! Well produced and put together! Great teachers too! Our guys have been watching them and have enjoyed them. Great information, taught very well, very thorough, and professionally put together. We just bought the Intermediate Guitar DVD's and I am looking forward to watching them as well. Thank you for putting these resources together so that we can become more excellent at what we do! I would recommend these resources to any church that is wanting to move forward and grow their talent.Ease Of Use Effectiveness Value

-
Having recently been given this I've been very impressed with it. Matt gives some great ideas for riffs, melodic fills and grooves. There is a large repertoire of songs included but once Matt's principles have been grasped they can be applied to other songs without a problem - the only limit is your creativity.Ease Of Use Effectiveness Value
It would be helpful if the backing tracks provided were also available in MP3 format so that they can be transposed into the keys we'll be playing them in for practice. Notation of Matt's bass lines would also be a nice-to-have bonus.

I've been to worship seminars before and have gone to bass clinics. I have to admit that I got very little out of those seminars. Simply because they try to cram so much into the hour that they have and because a lick or progression will go by so quick you don't have time to catch it, let alone get it under your fingers-which is where it really needs to be. This DVD series allows for all of that! I haven't finished the series yet, which is actually a positive in my mind. I'm taking the time to get it under my fingers. There are grooves that fit very well with my playing and that I'll incorporate into my every week playing. Other fills I probably won't-but they've been good exercises for me to learn. The way I use the series is to "burn" through the whole song one time, then I go back and start working each little section. I play it on my computer with my bass in my lap. I am continually pausing the DVD, playing my bass, then restarting the DVD. You can't do that in a seminar! The DVD is perfectly laid out for this style of learning. I'd highly recommend this!Ease Of Use Effectiveness Value
