Pocket Essentials: Groove Mastery

Develop an unshakable pocket. Make any band groove harder.

If your time feels inconsistent… if your lines are right but the groove isn’t landing… or if you’ve ever been told to “sit deeper in the pocket” without clear guidance — this course is for you.

Pocket Essentials: Groove Mastery breaks down the real, practical elements that create a strong pocket on bass, so you can lock in, feel confident, and make the music feel amazing.

This Course Is For You If:

You want your bass lines to feel better — not just sound correct
You struggle with time, consistency, or groove at different tempos
You’ve been told your playing is "busy" or "rushing"
You want more control over note length, articulation, and feel
You want to sound solid in any band, style, or setting

No fluff. No theory overload. Just the essentials that actually make the groove work.
