Electric bass guitar lessons

My style of teaching bass consists of technique exercises mixed in with song learning, song-writing and music theory proficiency. I believe that the music theory learned to write music is incredibly important as it is the universal language of music. During lessons, you will be taught the basics needed to write to various track utilizing different bass techniques that I give you. You may also request any song you'd like during lessons, and I will not only teach you the song, but will teach you HOW it was written

You can count on quality lessons!
From the first lesson you will be able to play a song on your Bass-guitar.
The method I use to teach electric bass guitar is called:
"Learn quick how to play the Electric Bass Guitar" (by:Jorge Loza)

(I only teach Rock, Funk, and Blues bass) Students can expect absolute top quality instruction where the needs of the student are priority number one. Whether it is a talent show, a rock band with friends, an open mic... whatever! We can make it happen!

Classical fingerstyle lends itself well to teaching bass.

Open and individualized lessons will teach each student in a unique fashion to fit them best. Chords, theory and musical reading will be the main focus of these lessons. My individualized approach works well for many students so that they learn what they want, how they want, and see the results that they specifically are looking for.

Students can expect to learn anything from basic chords to advanced theory and improvisational techniques on their instrument.

Although bass guitar is a secondary instrument for me, I have always taken much enjoyment in playing and teaching it. I have been playing bass for nearly as long as guitar and feel that it is a very important instrument that could be just as rewarding to play as any other instrument. My mastery over bass comes more from my time spent as a guitarist, however I do understand many nuances behind playing bass and can instruct you confidently on the correct/required methods as far as this instrument is concerned.

Rock, blues, Americana, punk, no-wave, math rock, shoegaze, etc.

My principle instrument in music school was bass (upright as well as electric). I have been teaching students for 10 years how to become a better bass player.
I have played in touring rock bands for 10 years as well. My current band is This Day Forth.
Whether you want to get funky, play the blues, or write experimental rock/metal music, I can show you the way in a calm and uplifting manner.
