Bass Guitar

Hi there, and thanks for stopping by.

I'm an electric bass player and musician with a history of touring worldwide, playing rock, funk, and jazz. I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Bachelor of Music. I am currently teaching and playing music professionally. I have had the opportunity to play on countless records and with many Grammy award-winning artists. My students range in ability from beginner to professional. Currently, I play in several bands in NYC and record and tour around the US and Europe.

Currently, I am only offering online lessons. I work with bass players and guitarists with a wide range of abilities, some are beginners, and I have some who are professionals. I can help you prepare to nail an audition or if you want to get into music and have fun. I tend to focus on making sure my student's learning experience is stress-free and fun (most importantly)

Some of the musical styles I regularly teach are Rock, Blues, Jazz, Funk, Soul, R&B, and Classical.

***Lesson Details***

My students will gain the following from consistent lessons.

Techniques -

Slapping, Popping, Playing with Fingers vs. Playing with a Pick
Improvisation
Creating interesting bass lines
Learning songs to have a good foundation for future development.

I tend to focus on learning songs instead of "boring" exercises. Although there are a couple of exercises I like to use, I make sure I put them in a playing context rather than playing it by itself.

You get more benefits from learning songs and working on a problematic groove or phrase rather than spending a lot of time playing nonmusical exercises.

Hope to hear from you and start learning some good music!

I am an experienced bass guitar teacher with 10+ years of professional career behind me.  

I'm looking for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of good playing habits (learning the right songs that you makes you a better musician!). I specialize in rock, jazz and funk. I focus on playing by memory but sheet music and cheat sheets are also available upon request. 
I also have the following tools available to use during lessons: sound recordings, sheet music, and more upon request. 

Let's plug in that guitar and play some smooth bass lines :)

Great first lesson.  Akos was able to quickly assess my years of disjointed / convoluted  experience and get me on a pathway that'll take me towards my goals.  I'm looking forward to our future sessions.

started two weeks ago with Akos great teacher a little older in age so he shows patience helps me to understand and the most important part for me is repetition I look forward to our classes

I started with Akos a little over 2 months. I hadn’t been playing long when I started but he has been a tremendous help in my progress. He initially showed me exercises to improve speed dexterity and timing and now he is incorporating different songs to teach more complex techniques and different styles of music. So it’s educational but also a lot of fun. I look forward to our lessons and highly recommend him.

Akos is AMAZINNNGGG!!! This was my first lesson, and I learned soooo much! I am definitely looking forward to my next lesson!! If you are looking to learn Bass, look no further, Akos is your guy!!!

I have thoroughly enjoyed taking bass guitar lessons from Akos. He not only teaches basics, but he also keeps me challenged with chords and new songs to learn. And importantly, he teaches at my speed which makes it easy and fun to learn.

Very informative, comfortable, and fun at the same time. Looking forward to additional lessons!

Akos is patient, explains well and teaches mostly with songs instead of exercises. Definitely worth it!

I am a complete novice and am grateful to have a patient teacher like Akos. So happy to have connected with a teacher who is patient with a complete novice

Great first lesson! Very patient and easy to understand.

My 10 year old really enjoyed his first lesson! Akos was very patient and helpful. I was unsure about an online lesson, but everything went smoothly and my son learned

Very patient and clear in his communication.

In this lesson I'm going to show you a really fast sextuplet slap bass lick in the key of E minor. Once you get the technique down you can transpose this lick into different key signatures as well. 

Try to practice it slow so you learn it the right way. Make sure you're not rushing and playing each note clearly. Rewind this video many times if needed. 


Advanced Fast Slap Bass Lick - TABS INCLUDED

Even if you are a beginner guitarist, you will surely impress everyone with this one simple acoustic guitar trick. 

You can play this on both electric and acoustic guitar.
