Sound familiar?

Without a technical foundation, in jazz you can't hide.

Three things that happen to nearly every jazz bassist, at least once. Often all three.

✗

The 3rd and 4th strings get lost

You tend to play legato on the fourth string, you tend not to have a clean attack on the third. On the low strings the walking exposes you first: wherever you try to hide, the ear senses the sound dropping. It's not a volume issue, it's a quality of playing issue.

⏱

The walking is a chase

Going straight to the roots gives the music a color that's too schematic, too rigid.
The walking becomes a struggle. A chase.
Not a pleasure, not a melodic line, not an artistic contribution to the band's rhythm section.

✦

You only improvise what your hands remember

You've studied scales, patterns, licks, bebop transcriptions until you're bored. You know the theory.
And yet when you improvise you only ever play what your hands remember, not what your ear would like to hear, not what you have in your head.
The technique is there. The freedom is not.

"Study the technique, then forget it. To reach through it the heart, yours and that of those who listen."
Dario Deidda

What you learn

The bridge between impeccable technique and improvisational freedom

Five things that change when the foundation isn't just study, but a conscious choice.

①

Same sound on every string
The 3rd and 4th strings stop being the weak point: they have the same sound quality, the same weight, the same intention as the others. Walking and improvisation finally hold up everywhere.
②

Left hand: the thumb is a lever, not a constraint
The correct setup that removes tension, frees up speed, and lets you control note length. Rhythmic clarity is born from physical control, not just musical taste.
③

Walking as a melodic line, not a chase of notes
Chromaticism, the second degree as a space of freedom, melodic choices. The walking stops being accompaniment and becomes art.
④

Modified pentatonics like John Coltrane
Change one note, you get a different sonority. That's what Coltrane was doing on substitute chords. It opens improvisation to a harmonic language that goes beyond the textbook pentatonic.
⑤

The ear leads. Technique follows.
Improvisation isn't memorized scales and patterns. It's a language. Technique serves to free the ear, not to control it. When the foundation is solid, you play what you hear, not just what your hands know how to do.

Here's what those who've already started Dario's course are saying.

★★★★★

“I bought this method as I'm also a double bass and electric bass teacher myself, and I have great respect for Dario Deidda, a Master of the electric bass recognized worldwide. In this method, with generosity and patience, he guides us through his bassistic universe.”

Bruno Z.

Double bass and electric bass teacher

★★★★★

“Dario is very clear in laying out the concepts from the very start. I'm 72, I have my own pace, and here I find a path built step by step. It's what I was looking for.”

Fabrizio B.

Bassist, course student

★★★★★

“Great for those who already have a feel for the bass and can organize their study on their own. It's not a beginner course, it's the personal method of a master. You have to approach it with the right seriousness.”

Riccardo R.

Intermediate bassist

★★★★★

“I've been playing bass for twelve years in a small jazz group. The fourth string I had given up on: legato, muted, disconnected from the rest. The first three lessons changed my attack. I printed the booklet, I keep it next to the bass.”

Marco T.

Jazz bassist

The course

Ten lessons, from the fourth string to the heart.

Questions

The questions we get before purchase

€109 for 10 lessons, is it the right price?

That's a fair question. Let's try an honest comparison: how much has gone away in the last two years on scattered tutorials, half-finished books, the occasional private lesson? It often adds up to more than €109, fragment after fragment, with no path that holds things together. Here you pay once, you have lifetime access, and you learn from someone who plays with Kurt Rosenwinkel and has won 8 times the Jazzit Award. More than the number itself, what counts is who and what you find inside.

I don't have time to study seriously.

It's a thought a lot of people have, and it makes sense. The good news is the course is also designed for those who have twenty minutes a day, not just those with three hours. Twenty minutes on an ordered path often does more than two hours scattered on YouTube. Maybe it's precisely because time is short that material waiting for you at your own pace, without deadlines or pressure, makes sense.

There's already so much free stuff on YouTube.

True, and a lot of musicians start exactly there. The difference is simple: YouTube gives you a thousand useful fragments, here you find a path that holds them together. If the fragments have worked for you so far, great. If instead you feel that between one video and the next the connecting dots are missing, here the dots are traced one after the other, in an order that makes sense, and there's a whole booklet to follow everything closely, note by note.

I play electric bass or double bass, can I follow it anyway?

Yes, and Dario himself explicitly bridges electric bass and double bass. He comes from classical double bass at the Salerno Conservatory, and he has transferred the fundamentals of right hand and left hand to the electric bass. If you've been playing for at least two or three years you have all the basics to start. And if within the first twenty minutes you feel it's not your moment, the 30-day guarantee covers everything.

I've tried other online courses and it didn't work out.

It's a feeling we understand well, and we hear it often. The question, though, is another: is it worth letting one past experience block the next ones too? The 30-day guarantee exists also for this. You try the course, do the first lessons, and if you don't see changes, we refund you.

I'll think about it and let you know.

Sure, it's a decision that's yours to make. If in the meantime there's a specific question blocking everything, write to our support: it's more useful to clear up a doubt now than to stay in the maybe. And if instead it's just "I'll think about it", that thought often comes back precisely when you try to play that walking line that won't come out. Might as well have it already there, next to the bass.

Is there a more systematic or academic course after this one?

Yes. Once you've done My Way and understood how Dario builds the foundation, the natural next step is The Complete Method for Jazz Double Bass by Jacopo Ferrazza, systematic and academic. If instead you want to solidify harmonic theory first, there's Big Bass Theory by Giorgio Terenziani. On acoustic jazz double bass there's also Tavolazzi, Instructions for Use. Deidda is the personal starting point, the others are the systematic next steps.
