Why is Carol Kaye such a badass bass player? ???????? Who better to answer that than Beach Boys' Brian Wilson?

She’s not just laying down bass lines—she’s shaping entire songs. Carol’s mastery of harmony and her creative use of melodic lines made her work stand out in hits like "Good Vibrations" and "California Girls." Instead of sticking to just roots and fifths, she’d pull out thirds, walk-ups, and all sorts of spicy melodic bass lines that were way ahead of her time. ????

If you want to understand harmony and craft bass lines with that same depth and creativity, we’ve got you covered. Our new program digs into chord tones, triads, modes, and everything else you need to elevate your playing.
