Is It Time To Start Reading?

After trawling the internet for hours (or even days!) for Tab and eventually finding what you are after, you discover that it's wrong anyway!

Sound familiar?

There is a wealth of information out there for bass players but this is often in notation, not Tab and requires a basic understanding of written music to access it.

Contrary to what you might think, you can actually learn the rudiments of reading music in a short space of time. I find that my students are constantly surprised at how quickly I got them up and running with their reading.

But you need a structured plan and you need to be consistent for a period of time for this to happen.

This is where the GBS Reading Boot Camp comes in...

What Students Are Saying About The Reading Music Boot Camp…


"Even over the short duration of this course, I am already seeing massive improvements. This is a very worthwhile course, Greg!"

- Steve Pullen

"My purchase of Reading Boot Camp was fluid start to finish and the course was definitely worth the time and expense!”

- Floyd Fulmer

“I’ve learnt a lot in this Reading Music Boot Camp and filled the gaps as I’m mostly a self-taught musician since my childhood. What I respect the most is that I had a feeling I am important, cause Greg dealt with my personal issues regarding the topic and gave my responses via e-mail on an almost daily basis. So, if you are in doubt, I would encourage you to take this course to make you a more complete bass player and take you a step further with reading music."
