Bass Guitar Lessons in Interbay. Amazing Teachers.

I've been a musician all of my life. I have a music education degree and have performed in professional ensembles. I've played bass guitar in a funk rock band, covering many Red Hot Chili Peppers songs, as well as others from the 90's.

I currently focus my energy on the acoustic guitar, however I feel very comfortable playing and teaching introductory and intermediate skills on the bass, including techniques in finger picking and slap bass techniques.

Curriculum will include technique, styles discussion, songs, and performance.

Come learn about the different kinds of bass playing.. two-feel, walking, bossa and more! Bass is essential to my passions and understandings of music as it was (along with guitar) my first instrument, and I studied electric bass performance in Boston.

I have been teaching bass guitar for over 11 years and have played in bands and recorded for over 30 years.I provide a core curriculum of bass technique and music theory combined with customizing to the student's interest. From rock and funk to jazz and blues,

I'm Ahmad a very enthusiastic musician. I started out teaching myself guitar at the age of 12. I moved to the U.S. in 2001 and studied music for 15 years receiving my B.M. and M.M in music and audio production at San Francisco State University. I then moved to Los Angeles then studied and trained with John Mayer, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, George Lynch and many others. I have performed hundreds of concerts in the U.S. as well in Europe and the Middle East with Artists such as Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Guns N Roses, Michael Angelo Batio, Ratt, Sammy Hagar, Dokken and many others. I ranked #1 in the Slash Guitar Center competition. I was in the "list of top 5 guitar players ever" according to The Examiner, also picked as one of the best guitarists of 2013 and 2014 consecutively in the Rockwell UnScene magazine, and ranked 3rd in the Steve Vai Sam Ash Best in Shred competition.

I find a student's strengths and weaknesses using various ways to encourage each student. I am very patient, ...

I always approach lessons through the lens of what my students want to be able to accomplish, and with music that my students enjoy. I focus heavily on building a strong foundation in groove, and learning the difference between playing something correctly, and playing it correctly with a strong sense of feel and groove.
