Each books focus is on a different aspect of playing the bass.

Volume 1-1 Essential Tools focuses on scales, modes, arpeggios, and music theory.
- 16 chapters that cover everything you need to know about playing the bass and music theory!
Volume 1-2 Reading is all about how to read musical notation on the bass.
- 16 chapters that progressively teach you how to read music on your bass!
Volume 1-3 Bass Lines and Technical Exercises focus is bass lines with play along tracks and technical exercises to help develop your technique.
- 16 chapters of bass lines that are fun to play! The bass lines are progressive so as you improve they get more challenging also.

The books are designed to be used simultaneously… so you would complete chapter 1 in all three volumes before moving onto chapter 2.

However you don’t have to work through them in a rigid order like that. They are purposefully separated into three volumes so you can work through them at different rates.

It doesn’t matter if you are a complete beginner or someone who has been playing for years this system of learning will work for you!

“I am very happy with The Complete Bass Player program and highly recommend it! The books and tutorials are well planned and provide a range of activities for all kinds of students. The Complete Bass Player has helped me to continue to improve my bass skills at a very reasonable cost. It also provides me with opportunities for personal online consultation with Earnest. It is really the next best thing to having Earnest in the studio with me for personal instruction!”

Tim Tolson

“Earnest’s method of instruction helped me become an all around better musician. He understands music theory and how the bass relates to and enhances the other instruments are just as important as technical aptitude. Having such a well rounded musical foundation centered around the bass opened the door for me to become a professional musician.”

Jesse Thompson

“I am a guitarist learning to play Bass and have found The Complete Bass Player to be an outstanding resource. It is well laid out and covers everything from bass lines in all styles to theory. It is great having the backing tracks to play along with.”

Matt Lorenz

“My son began private bass lessons with Earnest in middle school. Not only did he achieve technical competence but also had a good knowledge of theory and composition by the time he applied to college. My son went on to Berklee College of Music and is now a performing musician traveling the world. Earnest gave him more than the fundamentals to help him achieve his musical goal. I am an appreciative parent!”

Mindy Surdacki

Taking private lessons from Earnest has, without a doubt, made me the bass player I am today. From the very beginning, his patience, and passion for teaching has led me all the way to pursuing a degree in music at the California Institute of the Arts. His methods and techniques I use in my everyday experience in the music industry. Earnest sets his students up for success at any level his students want to achieve.

Michael Maschmann

Students have been using these books in my private teaching studio for the last fifteen years and the results I have seen are amazing.

I have several students who are professional musicians, others who were able to get substantial music scholarships for college, and hundreds of students who have wanted to play as a hobby (but they sound great and are having a blast).

I used the Volume 1 Series on all of them and it has been a great tool to help them succeed and it can be for you also!
