Bass Guitar Lessons in Overbrook. Amazing Teachers.

My bass guitar lessons use three main approaches. Technique- I've learned from the best. With the right technique, anything is possible.
Applied Theory- Do Re Mi. Whats up with that? I'll show any student that simple theory can be used to make your own style. Why can I hear a song a learn it immediately? I'll show you.
Learning Material- The music YOU love may be the most important part of my lessons. I'll also find the perfect tunes that will be your skill level but also challenge you.

Students will be shown proper technique, as a bass player your sense of rhythm and feel is very important so a lot of focus of understanding, reading and writing rhythms. Being able to navigate through chord progressions is also key so an understanding of theory and its applications on the neck will receieve a lot of focus. For new comers, a method book is highly suggested to work through.

learn the fretboard... learn to read composed music and chord charts!

Classical fingerstyle lends itself well to teaching bass.

I've been playing bass since 2003, tackling everything from metal to jazz to chamber orchestral & band music. When teaching bass, I like to cover as many areas as I can to ensure my students are as well-rounded as they would like to be (& then some). We will discuss proper bass techniques, writing walking bass lines, reading chord changes, how to achieve good bass tones & gear, etc.

Bass guitar was one of those things I had a passion about for many years before I took it up. When I finally did, I explored the techniques of many of the great players like Victor Wooten and Jaco Pastorius. I have performed in several bands as the bassist, but I've most enjoyed studying it as a solo instrument while writing my own pieces and learning songs of great artists like Larry Graham and John Mayer.

I typically play a 6 string bass but I'm happy to teach any type of bass from a 4 to 11 string instrument. I love teaching improvisation and special right hand techniques, so whatever path you want to go down I bet I can help you.
