YOU PROBABLY DON'T NEED TO LEARN MORE.

You've learned scales.

You've learned patterns.

You've watched the videos.

But then somebody counts off a tune...

The chord changes...

And there's still that moment:

“What do I play?”

That's the problem.

You don't need another scale.

You need to be able to react to the music with what you already know.

So you can hear a chord and know where to go.

Play a fill without guessing.

Take a solo without freezing.

And finally start sounding like the bassist you hear in your head.

I LEARNED THIS THE HARD WAY.

When jazz legend Monty Alexander first called me to play, the band took off without charts.

And I froze.

All the scales, modes and theory I'd studied didn't solve the problem I had at that moment:

I needed to know what to play NOW.

That experience eventually led me to a completely different approach.

Instead of asking:

“What else do I need to learn?”

I started asking:

“What if I need FEWER, BETTER options?”

That changed everything.

IMAGINE WHAT THAT CHANGES.

A chord changes...

You know where to go.

You hear a fill...

Your hands can find it.

Someone throws you a tune...

You can follow the harmony instead of hanging on for dear life.

It's your turn to solo...

You have something to say.

And when you practice, you're no longer bouncing between random scales, exercises and YouTube videos.

You know what to work on.

Less guessing.

Less thinking.

More listening.

More confidence.

More music.

THAT'S WHY I CREATED BASS IMPROV MASTERY.

BIM takes the system I've developed over decades of playing and shows you how to make it part of your playing.

We'll start small.

You'll learn to hear and target the strongest sounds over the five essential chord types.

Then you'll start connecting them through the progressions that show up again and again.

Then you'll use them to create actual bass lines, fills and solos.

Until eventually, you're no longer thinking:

“Which scale goes here?”

You're hearing the music...

And reacting to it.

WHAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DO

By working through Bass Improv Mastery, you'll learn how to:

Know where to go when the chord changes

Instead of searching the fretboard or trying to remember a scale, you'll have a clear musical starting point.

Stop freezing when it's time to improvise

You'll have a framework you can fall back on instead of hoping inspiration magically appears.

Create fills that actually fit the music

You'll understand the harmony underneath what you're playing, so your fills sound intentional instead of random.

Build solos that tell a story

Move beyond running scales and start developing musical ideas that listeners can actually follow.

Hear more of what you play

Build the connection between your ears and your hands so you're choosing sounds instead of simply moving your fingers.

Walk into musical situations with more confidence

Instead of wondering whether you'll be able to hang, you'll have a process for finding your way through the music.

That's the transformation.

Not knowing more.

Being able to DO more with what you already know.

[GET BASS IMPROV MASTERY — $297]

A CLEAR PATH FROM “WHAT DO I PLAY?” TO “I KNOW WHERE TO GO.”

I've organized BIM so each stage solves the next problem you'll encounter.

You'll start by getting out of random noodling and learning how to make simple ideas sound musical.

Then you'll learn the Entry Point System and start seeing chords differently.

You'll learn how to navigate the progressions that show up again and again — including major and minor ii–V–I's.

You'll make difficult sounds like Altered Dominant and Half-Diminished chords much easier to hear and navigate.

Then we'll add scales and modes — once you actually have a musical framework for using them.

Finally, you'll put everything together over complete tunes.

So rather than accumulating another pile of disconnected information...

You're building one skill on top of another until you can actually improvise.

THIS ISN'T THEORY I ONLY TEACH.

IT'S HOW I ACTUALLY PLAY.

I've been a professional bassist for more than 25 years, touring and recording with musicians including Monty Alexander, Joe Locke and Larry Fuller.

And I'm still doing it.

I'm currently touring with Monty, using these concepts on stages around the world.

The Entry Point System wasn't created because I needed something to sell online.

It grew out of what I needed to survive and thrive on the bandstand.

And now I've organized it so you can learn the same approach step by step.

About me... 

I’m Lorin Cohen, a professional bassist and educator based in New York City.

For over 25 years, I’ve toured and recorded with jazz luminaries like Monty Alexander, Joe Locke, and Larry Fuller.
I’ve taught at City University of New York, created the Touching Bass Bootcamps, and created groundbreaking courses like New Shapes for Bass.
My YouTube channel has been viewed over 450,000 times, where thousands of bassists have learned directly from my lessons, and I’ve been contributing columnist for NoTreble.com.

I even have a Masters Degree in Jazz Studies from Queens College here in NYC. 

But I struggled early on...
I didn’t even start playing double bass until my 20s. And when I got called for high-level gigs with no charts, I had to find a way to survive on stage.

That’s how I developed the Entry Point System - the exact method that now helps hundreds of bassists unlock the freedom to improvise.

You Don't Need More Information. You Need A Better Way To Use It.

Most bass courses give you more.

More scales. More modes. More licks. More exercises.

But if more information were the answer, you'd probably be improvising confidently already.

Bass Improv Mastery takes the opposite approach.

❌ Instead of learning every possible note...

✅ You'll learn where to go FIRST.

The Entry Point System gives you a clear musical starting point when the chord changes — so you spend less time searching and more time making music.

❌ Instead of running scales up and down the neck...

✅ You'll learn to target the notes that make the chord come alive.

You'll hear and recognize the “Money Notes” that make your bass lines, fills, and solos sound intentional.

❌ Instead of trying to think about everything at once...

✅ You'll give yourself fewer, better options.

That's the Gift of Limited Options: less to process in the moment, so you can listen, react, phrase, and actually create.

❌ Instead of practicing things you hope you'll someday use...

✅ You'll practice for the moment the music actually starts.

So when the chord changes, the goal isn't:

“Wait... which scale goes here?”

It's:

“I know where to go.”
