Song Master Pro

Learning songs shouldn’t feel like detective work.

Most bass players get stuck because the music moves faster than their ability to hear structure. Chord changes fly by, sections blur together, and you end up guessing instead of playing with confidence.

Song Master Pro is the fastest way I know to fix that.

It uses smart audio analysis to break songs down as music, not tabs or licks. You can see the form, track the bars, follow the harmony, and loop exactly what you need — straight from the original recording.

This isn’t about memorizing bass lines.
It’s about understanding how songs are built, so you can learn faster and play with intention.

With Song Master Pro, you can:

• See song sections, bars, and chords clearly
• Loop tricky parts without losing your place
• Slow things down without changing pitch
• Isolate instruments to focus your ear
• Practice musical decision-making, not muscle memory

This tool pairs perfectly with my teaching approach: hear first, think clearly, then play with confidence.

If you’ve ever felt like you almost understand a song but can’t quite lock it in — this bridges that gap.

Ted's Bass Gear Picks

I get asked all the time what gear and tools I actually recommend. So instead of answering one email at a time, I put this section together.

Everything listed here is something I personally use, rely on, or have consistently seen work well for my students and clients in real-world situations. No random picks. No filler.

Some of the links below are Amazon affiliate links. That means I earn a small commission (usually around 2–3%) if you choose to buy through them. It doesn’t cost you anything extra, and it helps cover the ongoing costs of running this site and creating free content.

I only recommend things I genuinely stand behind.

Thanks for the support—and happy shopping.
