Craig Novak –
I didnt realize how much my knowledge on harmony and theory was incomplete. Taught at a master level but able to be comprehended (ok mostly) by non schoold taught budding theorists, I loved this course and revisit it to learn things that I didnt quite grasp at the first. Great, great course if you want a plunge into harmony and theory for your bass.

I have found this course very interesting and has inspired me to learn as much as I can.
I enjoy Mark’s method of teaching. I am getting a lot out of this course. And will keep working on the theory lessons till the end. All the courses that I have purchased are very good and I think anyone who wants to learn bass should try them. I think my playing has improved a lot since learning from Mark’s lessons.
