Myke Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) Hello, I just bought a Stagg and I'm loving it! But I have come to the conclusion that although I have watched Youtube lessons,(The Geoff Chalmers ones, really awesome btw!) I need a tutor who I can go to so I don't develop any bad habits from the beginning. My question is those of you who live in the South West. Who have you had good experience with? I have a car now so I can travel a bit for these lessons because I was only planning on having them once every 3 weeks or so. I've had a look in the tutors available section and I've seen a few in Bristol but I'd really love if someone had some experience with someone that they recommend? Thanks Sorry that was a bit long winded! Also... I hope here is cool for this Edited August 22, 2014 by Myke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy109 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Dave Griffith's lives in Bristol. I have not had lessons with him but watched him and he was super cool. There is some clips on youtube. Let me know how you get on with whoever you choose, I could do with some lessons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I've not had a lesson from him, but I've met Greg Cordez and heard him play -he certainly knows his stuff... I'm not a teacher (of music) but I'm happy to give you an hour of my time and give you advice/pointers on stance and basic left and right hand technique.

Myke Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Thanks for the suggests guys! And thank you very much Rev for the kind offer. I was contacted by someone through here so I've booked a lesson with him next thursday! Should be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I bought my stunning David Gage Bass from Greg Cordez (think his username is gcordez on here) Greg is a great guy to deal with and a fab DB'er. He even gave me a few quick pointers I'm sure he'd be a superb tutor, and if I lived a little closer (+ didn't have the Severn Bridge Toll!) I'd have absolutely no hesitation in booking a few lessons with him Even if you get on well with another tutor - give Greg a try too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myke Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Thanks for that I think I'll get in touch with him soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcordez Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks for the kind words chaps. Would be happy to help where i can, but would also vouch for Ben Groenvelt as a teacher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leroybasslines Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I've never had a lesson with Greg, but I've seen him play...DEFINITELY worth a shout! Killer player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I've had one lesson with David Heyes, he was very inspiring, I'm just saving up for an upright before I go back for more! He's based in Somerset, templecombe I think? Teaches at Wells cathedral school, runs DB workshops, concerts & publishes DB centric music through his website www.recitalmusic.net Cheers, Norm.
