Introduction: I offer bass lessons customized for your learning style. Beginning to advanced bass players of all ages welcome. I am always looking for a few good students. I can teach you: - Your favorite songs and styles (rock, jazz, funk, bluegrass, reggae, Latin, pop, hip-hop, classical, etc.) - Composing bass lines - Timing and playing in the pocket - How to jam - Proper two finger plucking technique - Left hand technique and tone production - Walking bass line techniques and construction - Outrageous slap bass - Bass soloing - Reading from chord symbols - Bass note reading - Practical applied bass music theory - Playing upright bass with a bow (arco) I'm Josh Needleman, and I have been teaching bass full-time for 15 years. I have a solid and effective program to move you forward. I keep a teaching studio at Bananas at Large in San Rafael. Here are some links where you can hear me play and read what other students are saying. Thanks for reading this. Josh
