After only a few lessons with Ari I've learned a lot of new things to apply in my playing. The classes have also re-sparked my enthusiasm for practicing and playing. Ari has a fun and easygoing teaching style, and each lesson presents many new ideas and concepts to work on. Very glad I became a member!
When you join this blog, you will find a series of well thought out sessions on various aspects of playing the bass guitar. there are also several more advanced courses regarding music theory that, for me, have clarified points that I've just faked my way around up until now. Customer service is excellent. From musical questions to some technical difficulties getting my Zoom account connected, Ari and her people have always been patient and helpful. If you have any interest in learning to play bass or improving your technique or knowledge, I definitely recommend Ari's Bass Blog
I've been part of the Beta course "Music Theory For The Bass Player" and have re-done it three times. There's so much material involved, you always discover new aspects and light bulbs lit when you go over things again and again. One of the key aspects of this course is INTERACTING. I mean students have to record themselves and post videos once every two weeks on a dedicated platform. Videos are visible for all students. It's motivating to see others progress and gets even more when you receive nice comments and congratulations about your video. There's also a monthly Zoom live meeting where students can ask questions to Ari and show what they're working on. If you have any special question, Ari can be joined by mail. She's there to help you. Currently doing "The Pattern System" course. It's her second course that goes beyond what 's taught in the MTFTBP course.
Great web site for learning to play bass guitar. Be inspired, educated and most importantly have fun discovering your bass groove. Lots of videos, information and networking with other aspiring bass players. Learn about the culture of bass and who’s who in the bass world. Ari’s is a fantastic teacher - knowledgable, enthusiastic and inspiring. I love how her into, intermediate and advance practice sessions follow the same format each week with different levels of theory, technique and application. Missed a live session? No problem, all the videos are posted for streaming at your own time convenience. I’ve looked at a lot of online bass lessons over the years and this is the by far the best!
A talented teacher as well as a talented bassist. The teaching materials get straight down to business (no waffle) and are extremely well thought out. Can thoroughly recommend this website as the perfect starting point for continuing your bass journey no matter what level you're currently at.
I have learned a lot from Ariane. She explains musical concepts in a clear and concise way. Always a pleasure to be in her lessons. Would recommend highly.
Very informative and to the point lessons and information. Very worthwhile. Wide selection of Bass related topics from Improv to Theory to Technique.
Clear instruction, honest information, and quality service.
Ari is a fantastic teacher who gives live online group lessons that cater for all levels of bass player from beginner to advanced. She breaks down songs and shows how to use them to practice your technique, analyses them for music theory applications that you can use in other areas of your playing. Classes are friendly and lots of fun and there is no pressure to perform. A great way to progress your bass playing with a supportive and friendly online community and Ari is an amazing teacher.
If you are looking for an online bass instructor, look no further! I am a 30 year music teacher myself (voice, piano and guitar) and I speak from experience when I say Ariane Cap is an incredibly gifted teacher who's method of teaching is so comprehensive yet easy to grasp and who has a unique ability to make everyone of her students feel important and valued, no matter what level they are at. She is a highly effective and caring instructor. I highly recommend you take a course from Ariane and experience what I am raving about for yourself!
Ari is a masterful educator, I find. What a pleasure it is to practice with clear goals and structure. "You don't know your limits," I recall Ari said once, and she proves this true. I feel much stronger as a bassist in every way for this experience. I recommend arisbassblog to all my bassist friends.
This is an incredible site. The opportunities are endless to learn everything that you ever wanted to know about the bass guitar. Ari has classes and is eager to assist if you need clarification on a subject. The other members are supportive and we share experiences of practice and gigging. I cannot say enough good things about this site.
I've been playing bass for years, but only by learning each song note for note. After taking Ari's "Pattern System for Bass" class WITH book, I'm able to figure out songs by ear, play without looking and fingering is far more efficient and comfortable. Ari's teaching model seems to take a very simple bass exercise and build it into a familiar groove, then layer in your own notes. I've taken other bass courses and learned their songs and theory. Ms Cap showed me how to work the fretboard > and that's priceless!
I participated in a group lesson led by Ari and had an awesome experience. She makes everyone feel welcome, checks in with everyone's progress along the way, and taught in a way that was easy to understand.
Ari is a great bass teacher with a personal touch. I've greatly enjoyed her lessons and the online player community she has built.
Teacher is helpful and overall the space is a safe place to learn and develop your skills. Group dynamics are also friendly and there are multiple courses to take either live or watch recordings at your convenience.
Ari is a wonderful teacher and I love attending the live classes in her membership program. She is passionate about helping students become better bass players!
Ari is the most positive and dedicated instructor you could find. She is super knowledgeable about all things bass and all things music theory, and always willing to share her expertise in the most positive manner. She's the leader of a great community of bass players and students, and really cares about providing a quality experience and firm educational foundation to all. It's a pleasure to study with her :)
Ari is a great teacher. She relates well to her students and makes the process fun. I consider myself an ‘intermediate’ player and she’s given me a lot of good cues to improve my playing.
