PHILOSOPHY

This isn't about copying a song note-for-note and calling it done.
From posture and rhythm reading to chords, scales, and improvisation —
we focus on substance over flash.

A curriculum built step by step, where each song naturally leads to the next stage. We grow great players together.

THE LAB DIRECTOR

Jay

Winner of CJ TuneUp Season 16, guest bassist on Show Me the Money 2–4, former bassist of Verbal Jint's band. Stage and studio experience, carried directly into every session.

I've seen many players with great ears and good hands give up on the fun of playing simply because they didn't know how to approach it. Instead of fixating only on posture and the metronome, I teach fundamentals that lead to the playing you actually want to do.

CURRICULUM

From fundamentals to improvisation —
one continuous curriculum

01

Building the Basics

Posture, tuning, and reading tab — getting comfortable with the instrument.

02

Rhythm & Groove

From 8th to 16th notes, internalizing rhythm through real songs.

03

Chords & Harmony Basics

Chord tones and interval analysis — learning to read a song's structure.

04

First Steps into Blues & Improv

Your first solo, using the pentatonic scale.

05

Expanding Scales

Understanding the whole fretboard through diatonic and modal scales.

06

Chord Function & Swing

Deeper harmonic analysis and internalizing swing feel.

07

Walking Bass & Free Playing

Taking rhythm and lines freely over a 2-5-1 progression.

08

Funk Vocabulary & Mastery

From one-chord vamps to ii-V-I, playing freely without pressure.

A single continuous curriculum, not split into separate tracks.
How deep each stage goes is set together, at your own pace.

PRACTICE MATERIALS

Even after the lesson ends,
you can keep practicing on your own

I put together a practice video and sheet covering what you played that day.

The beginning mirrors the lesson exactly, and it gets gradually more challenging — so you never lose direction practicing alone.

So you can play whenever you want, I built my own metronome, drum machine, and tuner.

"독학으로 하다가 제 연주법에 확신이 안 들어서 등록했는데, 소리를 예쁘게 내는 법까지 진짜 예리하게 잡아주셨어요."

구** · 베이스기타 레슨
