Truesdale, MO Bass Guitar Lessons

I've been teaching Bass Guitar for 27 years and my students have gone on to play in bands and work with major artists. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to know you way around the instrument and as time goes on you'll be able to play what you hear and want to play. I specialize in Pop, Rock & R&B and I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

I can teach you to read notation and play like Les Claypool, slapping, tapping, and just keeping a groove

I have played bass guitar for 40 years, in the studios and in live gigs.

I focus on playing bass like a bass player and not as a guitar player that plays bass just because he can't find anybody else to do it in the band. I teach mainly using examples and talk a lot about how a bass fits in with other players.

.I will show you how to play any style bass. You will be amazed how quickly you will be playing you favorite songs.

I have been helping students reach their goals on guitar for over 18 years! I have been playing guitar for over 20 years and am accomplished on almost any style.
