Online bass lessons with Thaddeus Arndt

How lessons work

We start with simple bass lines and songs, then build timing, technique, ear training, and theory around music you can actually use.

Online setup

A phone, laptop, or tablet can work. The main thing is hearing the bass clearly and seeing both hands well enough to adjust technique.

Best fit

Online bass works well for beginners, guitarists moving to bass, kids interested in band instruments, and adults who want better groove.
