Rather than an actual teaching method, we could call it a kind of "manual" for optimizing various studies, based on my experiences, both as a musician and as a teacher, to give you advice (and avoid unnecessary waste of time and various

mistakes) to advance in level, and, why not, make music your profession. The topics covered are:

Chapter 1: Instrumentation

- The bass guitar

- Amplifiers

- Headphones, transmitters etc.

- The strings

- The setup

- How many basses you need and choosing a bass for beginners

Chapter 2: The Sound (effects, pedalboards, etc.)

Chapter 3: The Versatility

Chapter 4: Study methods and daily schedule

Chapter 5: How to prepare for an audition?

Chapter 6: The importance of transcriptions

Chapter 7: The repertoire

Chapter 8: The live performance

Chapter 9: Recording in the studio (or at home!)

Chapter 10: Theory and Harmony - What you really need to know, how to study, and how to put it all into practice

- Basic Theory 

- Intervals

- Triads

- Chords in 4 and more voices

- Playing chords on the bass guitar

- Scales

Chapter 11: Timing

Chapter 12: Technique

- Posture, breathing, aches and pains

- Right hand (techniques, dynamics, accents, "staccato" etc.)

- Left hand (string skipping, coordination, shifting, etc.)

Chapter 13: Playing "too much" and consequences

Chapter 14: The importance of being able to read music (all the benefits)

Chapter 15: Composition - How to create a groove or bass line from scratch

Chapter 16: Playing a second instrument (tips and possible benefits)

Chapter 17: Understanding what modal music and modal scales are, and what they can be used for

- Modal scales (really understand them and know how to practice them)

- Musical modes (understand them and learn to hear the "color" of each with examples)

- Examples of melodies, songs etc. if they were written in a different mode
