from 30 reviewsThe etudes were great. The annotations were especially helpful. Looking forward to a volume 2.

It’s excellent. Need some time to dive into it.

Very interesting and useful.
After two days, I can’t have a full opinion but I like the approach and the content.
Let’s practice !

Such a great pack! It's amazing for sight-reading, great for practicing comping, soloing and doing bass-lines to these great tunes. And such intricate and awesome contrafacts here. 10/10 recommend!

I’m still relatively new to jazz (been studying it for about four years but have been playing guitar for more than 20 years). As a guitar player, my jazz listening is focused on guitar (well and Charlie Parker because it all leads to him anyway), so my vocabulary isn’t complete. The annotated version of Will’s etudes is amazing because now I have context to what he’s referencing and it’s not just arpeggios and incomplete scales. Amazing and a steal for what he’s charging.

As an amateur bass player I must say, this is for me next level practicing! It deals with all the aspects of getting a better bassist. It improves my reading skills, understanding the chord progressions and what (possible) notes to play over. I have committed myself to master these 10 songs within 6 months (I practice every day for 1-1,5 h per day).
Great to have 10 well known Jazz songs in my library. The scores look neat and clear; together with the audio samples this is a nice and complete set to practice with. Thanks!

very helpful overview and introduction

OK, Will is a real one. I wasn't thrilled with this at first, and—I'm guessing—he heard me and took time to revise. He's updated this product to add a four-pager that provides more of an overview of what to do with these 50-plus tunes, and it helps much more as a guide.

Very useful knowledge and exclusive insight into jazz language. A must for every jazz lover

I have work with other collections of standards before but no one gets closer to this one. Not only because it is huge but also because you are given the priority (and other details such as iconic bass lines, etc) to study each song in the appropriate order based in the real experience of a NYC 1st class musician.

This is wonderful all around. Incredibly helpful for me and my students. I highly recommend!

All the songs shared in these guides are truly relevant for anyone looking to learn song and be able to be part of an active jazz scene. All the information is really well organized and that also gives you the chance to continue expanding your jazz repertoire/lenguage.
Great stuff!!!

This is an amazing resource, clearly lays out the common tunes as well as the must know bass lines. Has been extremely useful for my development as a jazz bass player

As a session and touring bassist (playing both electric and upright), repertoire is a key element of success in the local and international gigging scene. Will’s PDF helped me even as a high-level professional musician, especially the list of songs with important bass lines- check them out!

I’m a bassist and musical director in Hong Kong for some of the top global Cantonese pop artists. As I usually play electric bass, playing jazz on the upright is a passion project for me. Will’s bass course has enough material to work on for 4 years at any music conservatory. I’ve been a fan of his for years and enthusiastically bought it as soon as it came out, and was not disappointed. He also followed through on his free lesson in person with me and was very kind and knowledgeable.
