Rikki1984 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Hi, Does anyone know a know a good bass tutor in the Swansea/Clydach area? I’ve been playing for 10 years and have got to a decent standard but I haven’t progressed in a few years. I think I need to see someone to teach me music theory properly (rather than just the mish/mash I’ve picked up over the years!) and I’d like to have someone have a look at improving my technique. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fretbuzz Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'd recommend Jon Caulfield in Cardiff. Jon is on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikki1984 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks for the suggestions. :-) I did a bit of research before I posted this thread and I saw a lot of praise for Jon. Unfortunately with my job and my young son I can’t travel quite that far. I have found the names of a few bass tutors in Swansea but it’s impossible to gauge if they’re any good for what I would need (many were guitarists teaching bass, which was a bit of a put off for me). Maybe I’m being picky but bass lessons are wuite expensive and I don’t fancy throwing my money away on an unknown quantity. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joncaulfield72 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'd recommend Jon Caulfield..HaHa.. Hi Rikki1984 give me a call 07812049666 Maybe have a longer lesson less frequent to cut on travel time ? Cheers, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuNkShUi Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Rikki, another +1 for Jon. Well worth the time and effort to get up to him. I would definitely say to give a bass teacher a swerve if they say they are a guitarist who can play bass. Go up for one lesson. Dont commit, and just see how it goes. I can guarantee you'll be back up though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChick Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Have heard horror stories about some Swansea teachers. I think Jon's suggestion about longer lessons less frequently is a good one. I used to often have a double lesson once a month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
