Instruments: Bass Guitar Music

My teaching experience dates back to 1995, I have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 25 years.

I've also found that a combination of jazz and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the bass guitar and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

Anyone can look up tutorials or guitar tabs on where to put your fingers to play a particular song, but most people don't know how to understand the underlying relationships so as to manipulate those sounds in your own way.
