slap-pop-karl Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 I think this forum is a good site for online lessons. For general knowledge on the bass it is, and pretty damn good for anything else but I haven't came across stuff that is practical, or I have and haven't realized it. Okay I got my hair cut!

slap-pop-karl Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 I think Victor is an ace bassist, but didn't take well to his teachings. Hes just like my friend on guitar good player couldn't really teach (well I'm not finding it easy off of him, and I don't think I am ready to learn what I found by Gary Willis. Thanks anyway guys!

Cthulhu Fhtagn Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 What kind of bass lessons? Beginner? Intermediate? Help with theory? Kinda akin to coming on line and asking for "Riding Lessons".

ABGBrian Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Wooten not a teacher???? I disagree. If you don't believe me check out his amazing NAMM workshop on BP.TV. Your life will change. Official Website BandcampFacebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slap-pop-karl Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Well Phil, I couldn't find what I was looking for there part from Bring On Da Fonk .

slap-pop-karl Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Do you think lessons at the my school will be cheaper than lessons from a randomer?? Okay I got my hair cut!

DavidMPires Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 A randomer as you called :grin: would more directed to you. In a school I find that everyone is coming out like clones, hence in private study you have the chance to tailor the lessons to you. I always been able to do that, and has proven to be useful in cases when I am strugling with something and I requested to give a rest and we will came back later to that subject. Give it a go find a randomer and try it if you enjoy it go back. I'm pretty sure McGeof will help you out, he's from scotland I think. Maybe he knows private teachers. www.myspace.com/davidbassportugal "And then the magical unicorn will come prancing down the rainbow and we'll all join hands for a rousing chorus of Kumbaya." - by davio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean with the clone thing but at my school its actually wrong. All the guitarists he has taught have turned out to be really good and they all play there own style. I think he lets them find there own way. e.g One person he taught tunes to weird stuff like open F. So really he sounds like a really good teacher, but I don't know how much people have been taught bass by him, there ain't much bassists in the school and what I know of none of them have been taught by him (they all ask me to teach them, You'll never guess what style) and then there off...but yeah. He lets you find your self as far as I can see. Okay I got my hair cut! Its now this short *shows how short using hand* Lets get down to business gentlemen!

DavidMPires Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I would give it a go, but I'm a bit wary of g#tar players teaching bass, it's like Beckham teaching someone how to play basketball or baseball. www.myspace.com/davidbassportugal "And then the magical unicorn will come prancing down the rainbow and we'll all join hands for a rousing chorus of Kumbaya." - by davio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slap-pop-karl Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 He plays both guitar and bass. He's pretty much really good with strings....well guitar and Bass. He might not be great on right hand techniques but he could defiantly do some shizzle with my left hand. Okay I got my hair cut!

DavidMPires Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I'd give a go then, if you never had lessons would be good for you www.myspace.com/davidbassportugal "And then the magical unicorn will come prancing down the rainbow and we'll all join hands for a rousing chorus of Kumbaya." - by davio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess most things shouldn't bore me. *WHEN* you were learning scales? It never stops. If you want to be a good bassist you're going to have to suck it up, shell out a bit of cash and do some things you find quite boring. Its worth it in the end.
