Kyle is the missing link between all the beginner teaching channels and the more advanced channels that are more showing off, talk shows, or constantly selling products. <br><br>He really has a great teaching style that meshes. He gives a solid path from simple scales to actually grooving on your own with your own ideas. Thanks Kyle!

Hi Kyle, I'm from France. I watch a lot of great bass YouTubers, but your teaching approach is truly unique. And as a non-native English speaker, I have to say your diction is wonderful - so clear and pleasant to follow. Your sentences sound just like your bass playing: clear and effective. Thank you! Stéphan😊

Hey Kyle, I just used your Sweetwater link to order my 1st 6 string, the Ibanez MDM1606, and a few other little things. I just called my Sweetwater rep to confirm that my order is successfully linked to your page. Thank you for your videos, you are sooo generous with your time and knowledge. You are so good at teaching in these videos! Thank you, liked and hyped.

I think you might just be one of the best bass tutors I’ve seen on YouTube. You have a way of explaining and demonstrating things that makes it easy to understand. Superb.

Im intermediate borderline advanced and this lesson was very helpful. The fancy stuff comes with learning the basic concepts. Like building a house you gotta have a strong foundation. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Might have to book a session soon. 🎉
