Bass Guitar

Hey Musician! I am thrilled to help you reach your full potential! I hope you will choose me to assist you in avoiding common obstacles in your progress. I am eager to help you excel on your instrument! I have been teaching private lessons since I was 13 years old.

I play fretted and fretless bass, electric and acoustic guitar, ukulele, drums, and vocals. I am a guitar effects pedal and gadget enthusiast. Since my first student in 1988, I have helped thousands of private students embark on a musical journey. 

With my passion for BASS guitar, worship music, pyrotechnical guitar virtuosos, funk, hard rock, and 80s hair metal, I am confident that I can provide you with the guidance and support you need to achieve your goals.

OVERVIEW												
Greg has been a professional musician and teacher both since 1989.  During that time, he has cultivated himself to be a teacher of other musicians. He has gained vast knowledge and experience in sculpting others to meet their goals.  This experience has made him knowledgeable of instruments, sound equipment, and the workings of a music team as a whole.  He has served as a worship team member at four churches. Currently, Greg leads the worship arts dept at his home church and grows his heart and skill for worship leading.  Running his own business and developing marriage coaching skills will prove useful in the leadership and guidance of those he assists in improving their skills.

STRENGTHS												
TEACHING
Greg's goal is the building up of those around him in ways that they can understand.  Being a strong teacher isn't about being right; it is about leading so that others will follow you.  Finding the way to teach a person how they need to learn is a skill Greg has developed through years of practice and listening to students.  

WORSHIP TEAM EXPERIENCE
Several years working with worship teams at different levels has allowed Greg to see them from many vantage points.  These experiences have had him everywhere, from leading worship to running sound and everything in between.  Knowing that these areas are all essential and must all come together to facilitate a congregation to worship is a strength Greg brings with him.

KNOWLEDGE
During Greg's years as a musician, he has picked up many skills that add quality to his leadership abilities.  Not only is Greg skilled in playing the bass, vocals, guitar, and drums, but he is knowledgeable in the theory behind the music. He can teach those around him to read and understand the music they are playing.  He has also spent many hours putting together and running sound systems, so his knowledge goes beyond the stage and into the team's overall sound.  Having experience of CCLI and how the music industry works, Greg will use "pop sensibilities" to best utilize and choose music that is pertinent and worshipful.

Elementary Music Instructor

English

Bass is my primary instrument, and I am genuinely passionate about helping you become the best bass player you can be! When I teach, I like to use repetition (think "wax on, wax off") and prefer to present the big picture first so that every obstacle can potentially be overcome. Drawing from years of teaching experience, I have learned about the topics that have caused frustration for students in the past, and I try to smooth the road for you so that you can achieve the highest level of success with as few headaches as possible.

Greg is great at adjusting his teaching to what you want, which is great because it keeps you motivated because you're learning things that are interesting to you. He definitely knows his stuff, too! 

Super great teacher with lots of experience!

Greg is a great guy and instructor that matched his reputation. Our daughter really enjoyed her lesson time with him. 

Greg, is a awesome instructor who takes time and listens to your questions.

Really enjoy learning from Greg! He is patient and explains as well as demonstrate his lesson. Highly recommended!

My son looks forward each week to his lessons with Greg. He is learning the electric guitar, bass and acoustic and has come so far. Greg is not only a great teacher but also a great role model and mentor for my son! We are so thankful to have connected with him.

Awesome instructor, really knows what he is doing. Will not be disappointed!

I recently had the pleasure of taking bass lessons and it was truly transformative. My instructor, Greg, was exceptional, with a passion for music and expertise in playing the bass. They personalized the lessons to my needs, making it engaging and challenging. The structured approach and gradual progression helped me see visible improvement. The lessons fostered creativity and self-expression, allowing me to develop my own unique style. Overall, I highly recommend these bass lessons for anyone looking to enhance their musical journey.

I have learned quite a lot in a short period of time with Greg. He is patient & knowledgeable about the bass & music in general. I look forward to my next lesson with him.

Greg has been such a incredible bass guitar instructor for my son, along with a life mentor.   I know my son, Blake really enjoys his weekly lesson and asks for more time when available. 
Thank you Greg!

Greg is a great teacher, is patient and and quickly can analyze and determine what areas of instruction needs to be covered.

Great well rounded experience! The instructor is knowledgeable and able to answer questions about technique. A joy to work with.

Proper finger placement is essential to progress correctly and sooner rather than later. The Ionian mode (or Major scale) is undisputably the very first scale any musician should learn and memorize. This exercise is designed to build your muscle memory so that you can master the correct “practical” finger placement with ease. Come back daily and play along until you have the stamina and accuracy to make it all the way through.

Don't underestimate the importance of proper finger placement. It's essential for playing flawlessly. To help you achieve this, we recommend practicing the "Jenny" exercise three times a day. This exercise is designed to build your muscle memory so that you can master the correct technique with ease. Don't miss this opportunity to take your playing to the next level!

No matter how proficient you are at alternate picking, exercising daily with this "alternate picking stamina trainer" featuring the song "Edge of Seventeen" will solidify your skills in this vital technique! It is imperative to strike the pick in the same direction twice in a row. The pattern must be played down-up-down-up-down-up-down-up, repeatedly.
