Funky Dunky Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Love this guy, great teacher, great enthusiasm and has lessons on just about everything a bassist could need help with. I understand he has tutored some high-profile bassists but doesn't toot his horn and won't say whom. I wondered if any basschatters know? I'm curious - in fact I'm intrigued!* *I'm nosey Quote
yorks5stringer Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 He did a slot with Geoff at a Yorkshire Bass Bash I organised few years ago. I wouldn't say I'm high profile mind.... Quote
Coilte Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Yes, it is a great site....as is : http://www.talkingbass.net/ Quote
TheGreek Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Yes, he is a great guy...he actually came up to me at the LBGS 2014 and commented on my "look" - chatted with him for a while and he was happy to have his photo taken with me. I bumped into him again this year and he remembered who I was.. I love his site: [url="http://www.scottsbasslessons.com/start"]http://www.scottsbasslessons.com/start[/url] and there are lots of usable lessons for FREE!!! Top fella - I won't have a word said against him.. Edited March 21, 2015 by TheGreek Quote
crez5150 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Great site.... I've only just signed up to his site but its been great and very intuitive Quote
louisthebass Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Don't know if Scott has taught any high profile bassists, but his lessons on YT are top notch, and he's a really good bloke. Met him at the LBGS a couple of years ago, and he was very approachable. Quote
Funky Dunky Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 I'm sure I saw a video where he says he has taught some well-known bassists, but doesn't say who. He's a monster player in his own right. Would love to have a pint with the fella. Quote
spyder Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I've used his YouTube channel and really enjoyed his teaching style. Would love to have a one to one lesson with him. Quote

He does some great courses on chords and harmonic layering. Quote

Will look into signing up for it eventually, when I've got the funds available. Quote
NickD Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 It's worth the asking price for the live guest seminars alone. The last couple of Anthony Wellington ones were ace, and Steve Lawson was really inspiring too. Quote
Funky Dunky Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 Yeah I'm toying with the idea of getting a full membership, I wish I could've seen the Ed Friedland seminars, I really dig Ed as a player and a teacher. Quote
planer Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I can recommend the SBL full membership too, there's acres of great stuff there. Quote

Heket Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 +1 on the Academy (the paid stuff). There's so much that goes on in there, it's well worth the money. I wrote a post about it in another thread somewhere, but here's a video Scott did explaining what goes on in the Academy: http://youtu.be/urup7rNZusM Quote

simes Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 He's originaly from Carlisle, I believe he worked at Overwater at one time. Quote
nick@ibassmag Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Scott's a fantastic guy - he's been contributing to iBass Magazine from day one. Here's part one of a feature we shot with him and Lee Pomeroy… who's another superb bass player. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4cQ6_hg_YA Quote
White Cloud Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Totally agree, I have nothing but admiration for him. Wonderful teacher and fully understands the benevolence of sharing. Quote
