✅ Have you ever dreamt of moving freely across the fretboard and playing confidently in every key, up and down the neck, through any chord progression, at the speed of the groove?
✅ And, have you sometimes felt intuitively that recurring patterns and shapes exist at the heart of music?
✅ And — that these shapes are reflected on the amazingly symmetrical bass fretboard?

A kaleidoscope of beauty is about to reveal itself to you…

In a program about comprehensive fretboard proficiency, you likely (and rightfully!) expect to learn
- major and minor scales,
- triads,
- diatonic chord progressions,
- pentatonics and the like.

This book and the accompanying 111 videos deliver on this in a well-thought-out system that covers the entire fretboard with great fingering.

However, it goes beyond that in unique and compelling ways.

You will:
🎯 Use improvisation exercises to make the shapes yours.
🎯 Do mind-bending drills that train you in the patterns of the fretboard and those of music at a depth you never thought possible.
🎯 Dive deeply into the wondrous world of “shapes within shapes”.
🎯 Follow precise instructions on how to practice, represent and manifest music’s patterns in your mind.

This program is rigorous, and it rewards you with reliable results.

Anyone can do this — I have taught this system to casual players and highly experienced bassists alike — to rave reviews.
If you are a student or an educator this program will help you shine in any musical style.
If you are ready to turn dreams of fluent proficiency and authentic expression into reality, read this book.
