During the last few years I've written a number of bass guitar lessons so I thought I would share them online.

Hi! My name is Scott Noftle, I have been a professional bass player for about 15 years.

I've played in rock bands, indie bands, hotel bands, and big bands, but during my career I primarily made most of my living on cruise ships.

In 2001 I took the job as musical director on the ship, "The Adventure of the Seas".
I was not only playing the bass, but also leading the orchestra, and running the entire music department.

Playing for a living was a dream I had in high school, and I feel fortunate that I've realized that dream.
Playing the bass has taken me all over the world, introduced me to celebrities, led me to life long friendships, and, most importantly... led me to meet my wife Carolina.

I've created these lessons and bass scale fingerings over a number of years. I hope you find them useful but also note that this site will always be a work in progress.

More online bass lessons are coming, and I plan to make myself available to answer your questions, and share my experiences so you can realize your dream. Whether that's becoming a pro, or just improving your chops... ask me! I'm here to help
