Bass Lessons for Beginners
Have you just picked up the bass and don’t know where to begin? Or maybe you’ve been playing around a little, but want to learn the basics the right way, with confidence, clarity, and especially fun?
I offer relaxed, personal bass lessons designed for beginners. No stress, no pressure. Just step-by-step guidance to help you feel at home on the instrument and enjoy making music. My bass lessons are all about making music, not just playing notes. I don’t just teach bass, I teach you how to feel it.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to hold and tune your bass
- Basic fingerstyle technique
- Playing your first grooves and songs
- Easy music theory (only what’s useful!)
- Playing along with real music
- How to practice effectively, and enjoy it
- Locking into the groove & timing
- Fingerstyle, slap, and walking bass
- Creating your own basslines
- Playing with dynamics & tone
- Jamming with confidence
- Understanding harmony on the bass
- Studio & live performance tips
My Approach:
Everyone learns differently. I tailor each lesson to your pace and interests, whether you like pop, rock, funk, or something else. You don’t need any prior experience or music reading skills. You only need a bass, curiosity, and a bit of time.
I keep it light, practical, and focused on making real progress. All with plenty of room for your questions and musical taste.
