Pro Bass teaches you how to play bass guitar immediately in a practical musical situation, and gives you tools, techniques and tracks to step up your bass playing. Each Pro Bass lesson includes many bass lines each with tablature and notes, audio that demonstrates each bass line, a background rhythm track to practice them and a longer audio track to apply what you've learned to a typical song pattern (for example, a 12-bar blues pattern). Some lessons include video that demonstrates particular aspects of bass playing. With Pro Bass you LEARN IT, PRACTICE IT, and ultimately OWN IT! All Pro Bass lessons can be played and learned in ALL keys and almost any tempo, so you can slow down, speed up and change keys instantly. Learning bass lines in many keys will expand your bass playing immensely! One of the best places for an aspiring bassist to start is on the blues since so much popular music is based on this classic American idiom. In this free version of Pro Bass you will learn four classic blues grooves and bass lines: Shuffle Blues, Slow 12-8 Blues, Funk Blues and Rock Blues. These lines can be used in blues or be applied to anything that needs a melodic supportive bass line. Apply your own creative variations and the possibilities are limitless!

The little info button does work, but is useless. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2013-05-12, version 1.0* Very good bought all the lessons and has really helped my bass playing ### 2/5 — Slightly useful... *2013-03-21* Video doesn't work. Screen doesn't reorient (landscape) and these really aren't lessons. But I can sound it it and use it for a little practice. ### 1/5 — Junk *2013-01-14* If I could subtract stars, I would. ### 4/5 — Excellent Skills Building Approach *2012-10-24* The four free lessons are challenging and fun. I am working on all of them. Being able to change the key and tempo make the lessons adaptable and doable. The continuous looping of the lesson is a great aid to mastery. I love the extended playing with the band on the 12-bar arrangement. The app does need some fixes (I am using an iPad2 with iOS6): * During continuous play the audio continues but the screen shuts down. You have to pause playing and tap the screen when it dims or you will have to restart the iPad. This is annoying. * The video window opens with a black window, but nothing happens. It would have been nice to watch them. * The cursor does not move on the 12 bar progression, like it does in the lesson tabs. A cursor would be a helpful addition. * There are no tabs for the turnaround in the last bar of the progressions. This would be icing on the cake. * There is no point of contact to ask questions or report problems which is why they are included in the review instead of offline! The Bottom Line: this app is much more useful than any book/CD combo I currently have. I plan to purchase the extra lessons when I'm ready. ### 4/5 — A great teach yourself to play app *2012-10-21* As someone starting from scratch I found this to be a great teaching app. The fact you can adjust the tempo of the music is very helpful so you can learn at a pace that is comfortable to you. The only thing I would say it is lacking is a simple explanation of what every thing means. I was lucky as I was able to guess what the numbers meant (frets) and that the bottom string of the picture meant the top string on the bass. Maybe there is an explanation on there somewhere, but if there is and I couldn't find it despite looking, then that could be fixed too. But apart from that I highly recommend this app for beginners. Easy to use and adjustable to your level. More lessons are available as an in app purchase, but they are all reasonably priced and can be bought as a package or as individual lessons. Thank you for making this app! ## Frequently asked questions about Pro Bass ### What is Pro Bass? Pro Bass is a music education app designed to teach users how to play the bass guitar.
