Here’s what real players are saying about finally breaking through with Bass Freedom

Liz D.

Bass Hobbyist

"I feel the need to express just how incredible the online lessons are! It's literally the most incredible resource I can imagine, and it’s presented in a clear, logical way, but somehow manages to stay fun and simple. I feel I learn more here in twenty minutes than I would an hour anywhere else I’ve tried as well as having a fun productive feeling learning session. Thank you!"

Jordan O.

Aspiring Bassist

“I reached out to Andrew…the guy is a legend. I mean, you guys have seen his videos. He's a fantastic bass player, and he's really good at teaching the things he knows and communicating points. I think he’s a great teacher. I would recommend him to anybody who not only wants to get better at playing bass but also learn more about music and how it is put together."

Tracy H.

Bass Hobbyist

“I didn’t have any musical background until I began to play bass. It was a dream gone by. Then I found Andrew and Bass Freedom. Not only does he show his expertise as a teacher, but he also has what seems to be an unlimited resource of talent and musical understanding. My greatest self-satisfaction came recently while I was with my brother, and it was so much fun to sit for hours with him, playing music together. I remember that feeling of success and the joy it brings me to play and learn. It’s something I look forward to all the time now. I will continue doing this until I can do it no more. Andrew is just the best!”

Marc R.

Aspiring Bassist

"I’ve been able to learn on my own with the material that is there. The first thing I noticed was the depth of the content from music theory, all the scales, arpeggios, walking bass lines, and putting everything together. It’s also great how passionate Andrew is. If I have a question, he always answers and is super responsive to help me along my journey. He has a method that works, and he is sharing it with others to get them to become better bass players. I’ve loved Bass Freedom and the material Andrew has put together. I absolutely recommend Bass Freedom."

Minta S.

Aspiring Bassist

"Starting Bass Freedom was one of my best decisions I made this year. I was such a fan of Andrew on Instagram and YouTube. I greatly respected him and was always blown away by his sound, technique, and style. He is incredibly enthusiastic and I am totally loving these lessons! I really wish I had started earlier! I am absolutely thrilled!"

Riley H.

Touring Bassist

"Learning from Andrew on Bass Freedom has been one of the most vital steps in getting out of the rut I was in. His understanding of bass and music is inspiring, and he articulates and teaches high-level playing in a way that even a beginner could understand!"

Being "advanced" isn’t only about playing well; it's also about understanding why your notes resonate, how to construct bass lines, and what suits every musical context.

Step By Step ensures you don’t miss critical skills, even if you already play advanced techniques or play well by ear.

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Andrew Freed

Welcome to Bass Freedom — where I teach you how to become a complete musician.

I'm Andrew Freed.

My parents were professional musicians, so I've always been immersed in the world of music. As a music major, I honed my skills and deepened my understanding of music theory and practice. My journey has been marked by the cliche pro musician lifestyle, performing at bar gigs, wedding gigs, and everything in between every weekend.

With extensive and varied teaching experience, I have developed one of the most efficient and proven systems for learning the bass guitar.

After teaching hundreds of students over the years and thousands online, I've gathered a wealth of experience that culminated in my comprehensive online website for bass lessons, Bass Freedom. 

My goal with Bass Freedom is to offer the best online bass education platform. I have studied other sites, listened to what users disliked about them, and designed Bass Freedom to be user-friendly, ensuring you learn faster and more efficiently.

Nothing matters more to me than creating a space dedicated to helping other bassists.
