Welcome to CreativeBass.

My name is Torben Bjørnskov and I am a professional bassplayer and educator.

The philosophy behind the exercises on the CreativeBass site is: To practice the minimum, and to get to know the material from inside out.

Practising the minimum is something Bill Evans ones said in an interview. And it did not mean that he was practising as little time as possible, but that he was practicing a little amount of material at a time from as many angels as possible.

I chose “All The Things You Are” as one of the topics because it got goes through quite a few key changes but following kind of the same chord structure. So – You get a chance to play the same ideas in different keys within the same song. But you could choose any song in any stile and do the same exercises.

When you practise I found it easy to get stuck in habits and old familiar ways of playing. Therefore these exercises have different TOPICS inspired from different styles of music, rhythms and modes.

Check out the Bass Compendium page to see my new book.

Thanks for looking by…enjoy
