jimmy23cricket Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 Hello, Looking for more intermediate to advanced lessons. Particularly around theory/harmony/scales/arpeggios Thanks Quote
Lozz196 Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 Pop into Fretz in Hemel Old Town - Barry who works there (owns it?) is a bassist and very good, he may be able to assist. Quote
TheGreek Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 Another recommendation for Barry in Fretz - nice fella - shame he's not a member here. Quote
lozkerr Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Looks like Fretz has ceased to be. Which is a shame, as I'm looking for a teacher who can cope with a slightly daft bint who likes to run before she can walk, does know the bass-ics, can read music and wants someone to keep her on the straight and narrow, as well as stopping any bad habits before they take root. I've only been playing for about eighteen months, and I know I've still got a lot to learn. Any other recommendations around the Berko / Hemel / St Albans area? Or Central London? Quote
Grangur Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 For theory you might like to give Ariana Capo a go. She's written a great book and has vids to support it. https://arisbassblog.com Quote
lozkerr Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Thanks, Grangur. Thing is, I really need a person, rather than a blog and videos, to work with. My partner plays lead guitar, and we have a lot of fruitful jam sessions, but she's not a bassist, and is the first to admit it. It's probably my age, but I find it easier to learn from meatware than software. I think I'll have a wander round the local music shops and ask around. Quote
PatrickJ Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Did you find a tutor? I'm in Watford looking for a good teacher, hemel isn't far though. Cheers Quote
lozkerr Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 I did! Jamie Wilkins (wilko66 on here) is listening to my awful noise each week and trying not to laugh. Top bloke and I feel very comfortable learning from him. He's based in Aylesbury, which is a little way away, but it's worth the trek. 1 Quote
PatrickJ Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Thanks; I managed to find one in Bushey but if it doesn't work out I'll check him out. Quote
