Beginners
I'm not currently taking beginner bass students. Please refer to my studio partner Melissa:
https://takelessons.com/profile/melissa-m62
Intermediate
Expand use of arpeggios and look into common variations in traditional harmony. Also begin to look into the applications of polyrhythms in bass playing.
Advanced
Break out of basic arpeggios through use of modes and chromaticism. Really push your rhythm to the limit through more advanced polyrhythms and use of asymmetrical meters. Also exploring different types of tone and methods of making sound.
About Jesse

I have had the pleasure of taking bass lessons from Ian while learning a variety of different styles of playing the instrument, and he has my highest recommendation!"
Erick Jayk is a kind..considerate instructor indivual..He has sent me videos..after our lessons to reinforce what I have learned from him..Which I found to be very handy..He has sent me support and advice via text..Often going out of his limits of the norm.I strongly recommend him for serious aspiring students who want to learn electric guitar or bass"
