If you were starting today, what’s the best way to learn?

In person lessons are great with a good teacher that inspires you. Otherwise they’re a waste of money and you won’t see much improvement. I wish I had Scott’s bass lessons when I was younger, the breadth of classes is quite astonishing. 

Scott’s lessons?

I have been taught by several teachers. I would suggest a young student that is at the end of her/his studies. Knows a lot, is eager to spread all the information, and isn't just playing dimished chords up and down the neck. 

 

For you @Useless Eustace, I would suggest you to sit down and write on a paper the stuff you are interested in. With that you would have the chance to tell the teacher about your ambitions as well as give a good vision of your wishes.

I tried Scott's Bass Lessons. Didn't get on with them at all. I found them quite uninspiring and too much based around jazz and blues music. The biggest problem was the lack of any feedback until I got in a room with other musicians who were honest enough to tell me that my timing sucked
