Do you want to learn bass and be able to play in a band just in a few weeks?
“Most of my students are guitarists. Indeed, that is my main speciality. I also do Bass Lessons for beginners to intermediate aspiring bass players. It is a great additional instrument to learn; I learned originally because I wanted to expand and play more, and now I do regular replacements in bands!
It is a fantastic instrument to learn in so many ways!
Guitar teachers often do bass guitar lessons, but you won´t be taught to play like a guitarist with me. I started playing bass ten years ago when I was in Paris. I was not moving into guitar and was looking for other challenges. I started working on Jamiroquai´s bass lines 3 hours a day, and I have never stopped playing bass since. Although these two instruments are very similar in their structure (fretboard), the bass player has a different role in the band and must be `glued´ more than anything else to the drums and percussion.
The groove and percussive play is essential, and I learned techniques from several teachers in Paris that will help you move a big step forward.”
