Private Bass Guitar tutoring lessons Chesapeake, VA.

I play many different styles of bass guitar and teach to all ages. This is a fun instrument to learn.

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.

Each student learns differently and at a different pace. I try to use the first lesson as a gauge for strengths and subsequently tailor each lesson in a direction that will yield the best results.

Focuses can include: Understanding the fretboard, right and left hand techniques, reading bass clef, the role of the bass in a band situation, learning to be able to improvise on the fly, tone shaping, fingers vs pick, basic slap/pop and much more!

I can teach all levels and many styles. I make it easy for you to learn at you're own pace so you can achieve your goals and have fun playing music.
