Sound Familiar?

You’ve Put In The Time.
Something’s Still Missing.

  • You’ve watched hours of lessons but still feel like you’re guessing when the music starts.
  • You can follow along in practice but freeze when someone changes the groove on you.
  • You know more theory than you can actually use — and you’re not sure why it won’t stick.
  • You’ve started courses and never finished them. The information was fine. The system wasn’t there.
  • You don’t need another video. You need someone to show you what to work on, in the right order, and actually answer your questions.
People don’t finish courses because courses aren’t built for accountability. Groove School is.

I’ve Played The Gigs

Hi, I’m Ted Gould III.

30 years a working bassist. Eight years in the bass chair with funk legend Zigaboo Modeliste of the Meters. Teaching players online since 2006, and a recording artist in my own right.

I teach what actually holds up when the count-off hits. I built Groove School for the blue-collar bass player who’s tired of repeating year one.

I help bass players trust their ears and play any song, without tabs or another year stuck on repeat.
