One to one Bass Guitar Lessons from a professional Bass Teacher

From 30 £ /h

Bass guitar lessons:

I’ve been playing bass for 50 years, I studied at Bass Tech under the watchful eyes of the amazing Rob Burns/Paul Scott and Terry Gregory. I studied at the ICMP and I’ve written numerous top 10 songs and reached number 1 in 2017 in the official UK Soul chart and worked with some amazing musicians. I’ve been a successful bass guitar teacher for over 25 years; I’ve taught hundreds of students both privately and in classrooms. Bass is not only a passion of mine, but it’s also my life and I would love to help you on your musical journey and depending on what you want to achieve together we can structure the right course for you.
I do believe in any business hard work, dedication and time are what’s required to achieve your personal goals. It’s fun and very rewarding when you succeed and have honed your skills to a point where you get to meet like-minded individuals and groups.
