While I am committed to completing Roy Vogt’s Teach Me Bass Guitar course, I can’t help but notice that a number of stellar bass lesson websites have popped up over the last couple of years.  Some of these offer free tips, tricks and lessons, some are pay sites and many are a combination of the two.  In an effort to expand my horizons as a bass player I often browse many of these sites for insight, inspiration and even just a different perspective.  Now is definitely a great time to be a bassist as more and more of these sites, as well as miscellaneous videos seem to be popping up daily. 

The following 6 bass lesson websites are ones that I find myself returning to again and again.
