The bass learning path aims to cover what you need to become a well-rounded bassist. It includes a great range of musical styles and playing techniques, and equips you with skills to play them. The path guides you step by step, but also lets you focus on what's important for you.
Missions
You move through the learning path by completing tasks in the missions. They are groups of songs, video tutorials and trainers, that teach you the skills covered in the mission. Each mission has its own theme to help you identify your favorite topics. The path is unlocked, so you are free to explore it. You can skip to any mission you want to play, and focus on specific skills. Bear in mind though, that you need to play each task within a mission to complete it.
Themes
Yousician bass has 9 complete levels in the Playing theme and 5 levels in the Knowledge theme.
- Playing covers techniques such as fretting, plucking, riffing, walking bass lines, and more..
- Knowledge teaches music theory and you learn how music works. These skills help you pick up songs by ear and jam along with others.
You can focus on one theme and follow your interests, or change between them at any time, moving at your own pace.
Levels
The missions are grouped into difficulty levels:
- Basics level is perfect for beginners. Even if you have played before, it's still good to start with the initial missions, to adjust to Yousician way of teaching.
- By level 5 you have a strong foundation in playing basslines to lots of popular songs and styles.
- By level 9 you are able to play a large variety of styles and songs with demanding speed and technique.
