FarFromTheTrees Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 There's no bass tutor in my area so i'm considering lessons via Skype if anyone has any teacher recommendations which they could kindly throw my way? I desperately need to improve the theory side of things. There's so much about playing Bass that will remain a mystery to me without it. I WANT that knowledge. I tried Scott's Bass Lessons for a year and while there's no doubt that his website is a vast and impressive resource, I personally learn better when I have a real person I can interact with who is teaching me things as opposed to "teaching" myself from available materials. If you've tried Skype lessons how did you find it? Any pro's & cons? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford13 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Evan Marien was advertising Skype lessons for a while. The guy is a modern master and seems like a cool guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josie Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Steve Amadeo http://steveamadeo.com/ I've worked with him in person a few times, one-to-one or in small groups, and he's improved my playing dramatically. He's strong on the importance of theory, but also very practical and adapts well to the different interests and playing levels of different students. He is on BC but doesn't check in often, so best to contact him through his website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
