Alex Scott's Bass for Guitar Players
The Ultimate Quick-Start Bass Course For Guitarists
Alex Scott’s Bass for Guitar Players is the ultimate quick-start course designed specifically for guitarists who want to unlock the world of bass. If you already play guitar, you’re closer than you think to becoming a confident, gig-ready bassist. This course is your fast track to building groove, tightening your timing, and gaining a deeper understanding of the harmonic engine behind the music you already love to play.
Alex Scott takes a hands-on, practical approach to helping guitar players make a smooth and musical transition to the bass. You’ll start by exploring how your existing knowledge—scales, shapes, arpeggios, and fretboard familiarity—translates to the four-string format. You’ll then dig into tone, touch, and timing to develop the right feel and presence needed to lock in with any drummer. From fingerstyle technique and muting to tone shaping and real-world rhythm patterns, you’ll be developing the core skills that make bass players indispensable.
The course is structured in three progressive sections. First, you’ll get comfortable with bass mechanics by translating what you already know on guitar. Next, you'll build essential technique through focused fretboard workouts and musical patterns. Finally, you’ll apply everything you've learned through a series of groove studies in a variety of popular genres. Each section is packed with demonstrations, playalong sessions, and full performances, giving you the opportunity to internalize everything in a real musical context.
Alex guides you through classic and modern styles—from rock and blues to country, funk, and R&B—helping you not just play the right notes, but also feel them. You’ll learn how to play melodic fills, construct powerful basslines, and support a band with confidence, taste, and precision.
With TrueFire’s interactive learning tools, including synced tab, slow-mo, looping, and fretboard animations, you’ll have everything you need to make steady progress. You’ll also get access to Alex’s custom backing tracks so you can lock in and jam like you're already part of the band.
Whether you’re looking to sit in with friends, land a bass gig, or just expand your musical perspective, this course will transform the way you think about your instrument. Grab your bass, plug in, and groove your way into a whole new level of musicianship with Alex Scott’s Bass for Guitar Players.
