"Hi, I'm Dewayne Pate,
Your Bass Formulas Instructor."

Dear Soon-To-Be Pro Bass Player,

Do you want to learn the critical techniques that you can use to quickly master all your favorite songs on the bass?

Would you love to change your sound and transform your playing from "amateur" to pro, faster than you ever thought possible?

Are you interested in becoming a well-respected, rock-solid bass player that everyone wants to play with? And everyone enjoys listening to?

Maybe those sound like wild claims, but if you take just 5 minutes to read this letter, I'll show you how you can do it with an easy 1-2-3 formula.

And I intend to prove it. You might be thinking "How is this possible?"

It's simple...

I've created...

"You too can earn the respect
of legends like Robben Ford"

I know that's a big claim, especially with the hundreds of books, videos and instructors already out there. So, I'll explain why this package is so special...

First, I'm a simple guy.

And I realized a long time ago that I wanted an easy method to play bass.

I watched a lot of guys play and something just didn't "feel right". I thought they were over-complicating things.

After years of trial and error, I perfected a really simple system that makes bass lessons easy and fun.

And I've filmed everything in beautiful HD video on 3 DVDs. These DVDs will save you a ton of pain and suffering and catapult your chops to the pro zone with blinding speed.

Once you learn the "core pro basics", you'll be able to apply this all over the bass even if you're a raw beginner (or a seasoned veteran). And I'm going to show you all the secrets behind 5 unique styles: rock, jazz, blues, pop and funk.

Listen, I don't want you to get bogged down in diminished, demolished, 13 plus 9s and all of that fancy sounding theory.

Forget that... I want you to start having fun RIGHT AWAY. You don't want to struggle learning to play the bass for years, right?

I want you to have
fun right away! Ok?

The answer is: A sequential step-by-step learning system.

Unfortunately, most bass lesson books, videos and even personal instructors fail to understand this secret. They either overload the student with too much information... or even worse, they teach you a jumbled mess of ideas that leaves you dazed and confused.

No more confusion. You're
gonna love my simple system.

In fact, that's why I decided to create this system. As a professional musician and teacher, I meet dozens of frustrated bassists who are on the edge of giving up.

They call me, and they're frustrated...

Because the harder they try, the more confused they got.

So basically, I'm the guy who has to clean up the other bass teacher's mess.

So, that's why I decided to make this system available to bassists like you. And players from around the globe are diggin' it...

Now, here's the simple 1-2-3 formula to learning almost all your favorite songs as fast as humanly possible...

Step #1
Learn the "Bassics"

First you have to learn some "bassic" techniques. This includes how to navigate the neck, follow basic chord progressions and play critical simple scales.

There's nothing more fun
than having a great gig
with a great band and a
great crowd.

I'll take you step by step through this learning process: from learning to lock in with the drummer quickly, to playing in time, to knowing which bass runs sound good together, to playing rockin' rhythms.

Believe it or not, almost all of the top hit songs of all times are using the exact same chords, progressions and scales.

I reveal how memorizing a ton of bass scales is actually counterproductive.

The fastest shortcut is to learn a small handful of critical notes, chords and scales that can be used to play popular songs.

Again -- the last thing you want to do is get lost with mind-numbing memorization of crazy bass scale combinations.

I'm going to demystify what SEEMS HARD...

However when you learn a few simple tricks, you'll be able to play any hit song in record time. You'll be able to translate these pro bass secrets into all of your playing into the future.

I'm also going to reveal how to get a nice sound from your bass.

Step #2
Learn the style secrets

One of the reasons I get hired to record in the studio and go on the road with big bands (with legends like Robben Ford)-- is because I know the secrets behind all the top styles.

It took me almost 40 years to figure the secrets behind rock, blues, jazz, funk, country and more.

You'll peel the paint off
the walls with my
Bass Zone Formulas.

Each style has a few critical factors,essential riffs, and hot licks that you need to learn. Forget thick books that take years to master!

I don't like to get bogged down in theory. I'd rather play!

Instead of useless theory, you're going to learn how what I call the "bass zone formulas" that give you the pro sound instantly. It's so powerful and effective because its based on copying what all the legends did. No need to reinvent the wheel. It took me decades to figure it out, however I'll give you all my secrets in a few short hours.

Why not learn things the easy way?

Step #3
Learn to play complete songs and
add your personal touch

The most important thing for a bass player is to lock in with the drums to form a super-solid rhythm section for your band.

The next most important thing is to lock in with the other instruments like the guitars and keyboards. You've got to make sure that you're playing the right notes harmonically.

Then, (and here's the really fun part), you can start adding your own personal touch and express your musical personality as you play.

I'll show you how you can easily do this.

How? First, you need the core "bass zone formulas" to play like a pro in whatever style you're covering. Then, it's all about learning to create slick variations.

Inside Bass Zone Formulas,
You're Going To Get My 30 Years
of Experience, Insider Secrets And Pro Tricks Handed To You On
A Silver Platter

I guess I should tell you a bit about myself...

I've been playing bass professionally for over 3 decades (WOW - time flies when you're having fun!)

My reputation as a "musician's musician" has been proven over and over... I've worked with countless artists who've called on my skills over the past thirty years as a rock-solid rhythm man.

For example, I recorded and toured with guitar-slinger Robben Ford. I also played with Latin all-stars Arturo Sandoval, Pete Escovedo and Ray Obiedo.

I toured with the Indian-jazz fusion saxophonist George Brooks.

Also, I'm also a graduate of the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles and I've been a columnist for Bassics Magazine.

Here's a small sample of what you're going to learn on the DVDs:

  • Learn how to use your nose to align your body with the bass. This is important so that you maximize your power and reach.
  • I'll reveal a very simple trick that will help you MASTER the fretboard. You can use it as a "compass" to find yourself at any moment in time.
You're gonna love my simple
learning tricks that
will transform you into a
great player -- FAST.
  • I'll show you how you can find YOUR magic "comfort zone" with your hands and body position so you can play for hours without getting tired.
  • Even if you've never played bass before, it doesn't matter. I'll guide you note by note and simplify the whole thing for you.
  • Most bassists get overwhelmed when they start playing because they see so many frets and strings. However, when you realize there's only 12 notes TOTAL... you'll see how easy, fun and simple it can be.
  • You're going to enjoy some of my simple "word games" that I teach kids to help them learn the the basics. You'll learn the entire fretboard lightning fast by using these fun learning techniques. 16:44
  • I'll make learning scales unbelievably easy by focusing on the "the master's scale."

There's no reason you need to drive yourself crazy by learning hundreds of patterns. Instead, let's master the MOST CRITICAL ONE. Then we can easily apply it in all other songs.

Let's get into the fun stuff you can use right away...

First we're going to dive into what I call "chop builders". It transforms your bass chops from amateur to pro super fast.

You're going to love my step-by-step system.

You'll be floored by how easy learning bass can be.

I'm not here to impress you with what I can do (I was the guy they hired to record "Super Chops" bass instructional videos in the 80's... but who cares!).

I'm here to teach you how YOU can play bass.

I'm excited to teach you everything I know.

That's why I've created a simple, sequential, learning-system. Just follow along with me and by the time the DVDs are over, you'll be amazed at what you can play (and so will everyone that hears you).

Then we're going to focus on the RIGHT-HAND. We'll build your right-hand up with my "fluid chop builder".

You'll be able to fly all over the fretboard and play some tasty little licks -- FAST. This is a core secret that every aspiring bassist needs to learn and master. Remember...

Then we really start cooking with gas around the 10 minute mark of the 2nd DVD...

"There's nothing quite like
playing with superstars,
touring the world and getting
paid for it."

What's interesting is "the pro sound secrets" aren't harder to play. They're just as easy as the "amateur sound". The difference is that you'll achieve a much sweeter, fuller sound.

Musicians will notice...
Crowds will love it...
And you'll reap the rewards...

And that's just a fraction of what you're going to learn on DVD 2.

Then we start boogying deeper on DVD 3.

I hope my pro tips transform your playing. Here's some of the cool stuff you're going to learn...

Want to play some smokin' blues?

All you need is to add 1 powerful little note to your mix -- it will automatically shift your playing to the "blues master zone".

You'll never fall behind, because there is no schedule to keep up with.

If you can only practice your bass lessons 5 or 10 minutes a day, hey that's fine. Believe me, a leisurely pace works - it just takes a little longer. On the other hand, if you want to stay up all night learning with me, that's cool too.

It's completely up to you. And once you own these DVDs, you can watch them whenever want, so there's never any deadlines.

Best of all, you can get this entire bass course at a rock bottom price. We're planning on selling these lessons in the near future for as much as $147.

I actually charge over $100 an hour for studio session work and private lessons. And even if you could fly down to California I could only teach you about 10% of what's on these 3 DVDs in the same time period.

I honestly feel this is the best bass guitar learning value offered anywhere.

I'm not going to knock one-on-one lessons. However: they usually end up costing a small fortune.

And often, most of these guys don't have a SYSTEM. They just teach whatever they feel like that day and create more confusion than solutions.
