Bass Guitar with Thomas B.

Ive been playing bass for over 20 years and currently I'm a fill in bassist for solo musicians and bands as well as a studio musician in the North Shore area. I just recently graduated from Berklee College of Music and recieved my Professional Bass Degree. I love all genres of music including Classical, Funk, Rock, and Jazz. Im very open minded, friendly with a great sense of humor. I've played with numerous bands in the past 20 years. Some of my highlights include opening for the Foo Fighters, Tom Petty, as well as Busta Ryhmes when I was playing Bass for Duty Free, a local New England band. We played Amsterjam 2006 in NYC as well as other notable venues. I like all kinds of music ranging from funk to rock. Some bassists who inspire me are Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, as well as Chuck Rainey. Every few years I go to Tennessee to attend Victor Wootens bass camp which has always been an amazing time, learning from greats such as Steve Bailey, and Kai Eckhardt. *** Lesson Details *** I always sit down at our first lesson to make custom lesson plans for what you want to study and goals you want to achieve. I also emphasize on technique and getting you to feel comfortable with your instrument so its an extension of your body. *** Travel Equipment *** I expect the student to have a bass guitar but I have a back up as well. *** Specialties *** Beginning to intermediate theory, blues, rock, funk and hand positioning techniques.
