Episode 1
Most bass players learn shapes and drills long before they ever learn to trust their ears. In this episode, Scott and Ian walk you through the most important (and most overlooked) musical skill of all: hearing something—and playing it back.
You’ll learn:
- Why ear training is essential (even if you can read music)
- Simple ways to start matching pitch by ear
- How to stop guessing—and start hearing with confidence
No sight singing. No theory charts. Just honest, usable skills to help you connect your ears to your bass.
