Steve Lawson

 

I had a bass lesson from Steve.  At the time, I did not have the skill to understand what he could teach me, but it was great boost to me, on my bass journey.  

Like David Beckham visiting a local primary school, the kids won't learn much football - but it will leave a lasting impression!

I now have a less famous teacher - and now, I am better able to benefit from what is being shared!

Great start though!

I believe Divinty Roxx does and I'm thinking about contacting Dillinger Escape Plan Liam Wilson for a couple of lessons later in the year.

The time-zone might need some negotiating, but worth a go I think

Steve is a fabulous musician and a great teacher. I studied with him on and off for a couple of years. I know exactly what you mean.

I have stopped giving lessons I am afraid.

I've heard his lessons are at a very high level 😂

My problem with Steve Lawson is I never understand a thing he says, at least on video.  He talks in staccato machine gun bursts, very fast, and swallows/mumbles his words.  Don't get me wrong I'm a SL fanboy, I just only get one word in three. Maybe he's different 121.

Sub-titles? 😃

Damn. And to say you are the only name I recognise out of this list of random people being dished out that I've never heard of.

An interesting side note here should be that just because some one is famous for being a great player, it doesn't mean they will be a great teacher. 

So true, many people confuse being a great bass player with being a great teacher. They are entirely separate skills. Always choose the one who is more skilled at teaching and that you have a rapport with.

Are you looking for a Photoshop course?

 

(No disrespect to DR, but that's had a bit done in post)

He takes an oriental approach to teaching, I believe he calls it 'The Chinese Way'.

I was going to ask Jeff Beck for some lessons but I watched some videos and he is all fingers and thumbs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would like to thank the You Tube comments section for that joke.

But he'll teach anyone..... he's not picky

I believe Billy Sheehan (!!!) is giving 1-2-1 lessons at a music store in Nashville where he recently moved to. Hoping he will do some Skype lessons. Would be a fantastic experience for my big boy birthday this year. 

[MrCrane]

Ariane Cap also does Skype lessons

[BadHands]

I've managed to get a reply from a couple of names suggested here, who unfortunately aren't doing lessons at the moment, but I'm debating having a lesson or two with Jeff Berlin!

If anyone's interested, I'll write up about the process and how I find it.

[Sibob]

Define ‘famous’?!

But Felix Pastorius & Kevin Scott come to mind

Si

[Stub Mandrel]

I've offered lessons to several famous bass players, but I was surprised by their lack of enthusiasm, to be honest.

I'm sure they'll come back to you now they have some time on their hands.
