Welcome to the home of the most innovative and comprehensive online, video bass instruction site on the internet. While there are many great methods out there and many great teachers, It’s rare that these two come together in a method that works for all bass players, at all levels, playing any style of music. The CORE Method is a revolutionary method designed for 4, 5 and 6 string basses (and more). Because it is modular in nature, you get to direct your own learning. Learning that suits your needs and your interests.

The CORE Method is for all bass players, beginner through advanced. While providing a solid foundation for the new player, the innovative concepts presented open up the instrument for intermediate and advanced players alike. Whatever style of music you play, The Core Method will help you become a more creative, innovative and, most importantly, in-demand player.

“Excellent material and very easy to follow along. Opens up an understanding of the fretboard that either isn't shown elsewhere or is explained in a more confusing manner… very player-friendly, and lead you to further improvisational exploration. Would, and have, recommended this book and program to a number of musician friends!” - Ron G

Originally written for Michael's private students, The CORE Method is a comprised of two parts. The Core is a simple and effective way to develop fluidity on the entire neck, in any key, in any position. The second part of The CORE Method is the Modules. These Modules cover the many musical applications of the CORE. It is this section that students can choose to direct their own learning outcomes. The Modules provide the musicality to the Fluency to the Fluidity gained in the first section.

“Very easy to comprehend and applicable to any style of music. I like to use it as an alternative when searching for notes and or ideas.” - Eugene R
