My bass experience began later than my guitar experience, but I pursued it just as fervently! Over the last 13 years or so of playing I have played bass in many projects.

Therefore, students inevitably develop a real sense of intimacy for music and become part of the life long journey that all of us musicians are on. Lastly, with time and patience, my students truly realize how very much capable they are of achieving anything they set their minds to achieving. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to tune up your bass guitar properly, become familiar with your fretboard while learning to read a very useful tool known as tablature in order to get started right ...

I would say that I teach bass guitar from the perspective of an upright bassist, that is I focus on getting the student to learn the correct pitch names (rather than fret numbers) of the positions they play in. I think that is one of the secrets to becoming a versatile bassist in any genre of music.
