Why Join the Bass Improv Mastery Program?

The Bass Improv Mastery Program is rooted in innovative frameworks to accelerate your improv, which can only be learned here:

Master the Five Essential Chord Types

Cut through the noise and focus on what truly matters – major 7, minor 7, dominant 7, half-diminished 7, and altered dominant chords:

  • Universal Mastery: Apply these skills across jazz, blues, rock, and more.
  • Clarity and Simplicity: Build a strong foundation without overwhelm.
  • Comprehensive Skill Set: Use these chord types to unlock advanced improvisational techniques.
  • Enhanced Ear Training: Sharpen your ability to recognize and respond to different chords.

No Complex Theory Overwhelm

Say goodbye to theory overload. Our approach focuses on practical, actionable techniques:

  •  Accessible Learning: Perfect for beginners and pros alike, focusing on what works.
  • Practical Application: Get immediate musical results that harmonically fit the music.
  • Less Overthinking: Trust your instincts and play with freedom.
  • Streamlined Practice: Targeted, goal-oriented practice sessions that deliver results.

Entry Points: Your Pathway to Confident Improvisation

Sick of staring at the fingerboard, unsure where to start? The Entry Points system is your solution:

  • Break Through Decision Paralysis: Narrow down your options and confidently launch into improvisation.
  • Instant Engagement: Dive into musical contexts with ease, accelerating your ability to join in with other musicians.
  • Immediate Relevance: Keep your improvisation harmonically connected and meaningful.
  • Build Unshakable Confidence: Know exactly where to start, giving you the assurance to play boldly.
  • Consistent, Measurable Growth: Practice Entry Points across various chords, constantly expanding your improvisational toolkit.

Money Notes: Simplify, Don’t Settle

Forget about drowning in scales and modes. The Money Note System brings simplicity and without sacrificing depth:

  • Express Yourself Fully: Use triads and arpeggios to create melodically rich, memorable solos.
  • Melodic Precision: Craft beautiful, clear, connected lines infused with the “money notes” of extended harmony.
  • Harmonic Alignment: Hit the right chord tones at the right times for maximum impact.
  • Train Your Ear: Develop a sharp ear for chord progressions and extended harmonies.

Changing the Language: Think Music, Not Theory

Ditch the theory books. Our intuitive language and concepts make improvisation second nature:

  • Streamlined Communication: Use concise phrases like "Target 5 minor" for quick, effective musical decisions.
  • Quick, Confident Choices: Reduce mental clutter and focus on playing.
  • Stay in the Groove: Maintain a musical flow without getting bogged down by theory.
  • Real-Time Adaptation: Seamlessly adapt to changing harmonies and essential progressions.

Quickly & Efficiently, WITHOUT "Complex Theory Overwhelm" or Mindlessly Running Scales

 

I'm Lorin Cohen...

 

An NYC pro bassist, I've performed and recorded with some of the biggest jazz legends on the international stage. 

And, as an educator, my "Touching Bass" Bootcamps and "New Shapes for Bass" instructional packages have transformed bass players all over the world.

And now, I've put all my experiences together in this one-of-a-kind program...

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Here's what it's meant to others...

I am finding myself being able to 'unlock' and get inside the chords to tunes, and definitely becoming aware of many improv options/paths that I likely would not have come across on my own.

I approach every tune now when performing with the goal of finding that solo entry point - that sudden transition from walking - to unlocking the tune, and as Monk said "Lift the Bandstand".

I have definitely turned some heads since using BIM. It is great that I will always have access to it; so glad I joined.

All of this material I am learning I can immediately use on the gig!

Lorin's explanation is very clear. More importantly, his encouragement and patience in the coaching calls are key for me to improve.

In the calls, my questions are answered patiently and thoroughly and the number of my perceived obstacles has become fewer. I strongly recommend this course and more importantly, the coaching calls
