Hi, I’m Joe Hubbard and welcome to my online bass video lessons membership website! You will find some interesting instructional material here that will help you on your journey to become a better improvising bass player. The ideas that I will share with you are the offspring from three decades of experience and wisdom, guided by constant learning from Charlie Banacos’ improvisational concepts and the need to respond to continually changing musical environments and challenges.
My goal is to give you the “nuts and bolts” of bass guitar instruction where you will become a better improvising bass player; attain the skills and knowledge base that you are seeking to achieve and be able to actually play what you are taught in real time.
Practice is best defined as “doing the right thing,” while understanding specific musical concepts equates to “doing things right.” In these video bass lessons, I will teach you these specific improvisational bass guitar concepts. Practice does not make perfect- only perfect practice makes perfect!
