Online Lessons

[uncle psychosis]

Hey folks

I'm trying to improve my playing and I'm looking for some good online lessons. I need something to structure my practice around. Ultimately I'm interested in funk/jazz style playing but I don't want to specialise too much. I would describe myself as being an intermediate pick player but a beginner at fingerstyle (what I really want to focus on).

I want to get back to having proper lessons at some point but I can't really afford them just now.

Any recommendations? Ideally a series of things that I can work through gradually.

A good all round (theory/technique) structured site is : [url="http://www.studybass.com"]www.studybass.com[/url]

For actual on line lessons, one of the best IMO is from Scott Devine :

As you are interested in jazz, learning the basics of "walking" would be well worth while, not alone for just jazz, but the knowledge gleaned form practicing walking bass lines can be incorporated into most types of music.

Dave marks has a series of lessons here :
