Jazz Bass

I started my musical life as a drummer in my teen years. As an adult, I "discovered" the bass, and it is my love now. I don't get to work on it as much as I would like -- due to family and job committments -- but it is still a big joy. My goal isn't to be the best or to be famous -- but to just learn how to speak on the instrument and express myself.

Lessons

I'm working on a series of Jazz Bass Building Blocks lessons that I hope will help others get the bass language memorized and use it to improvise.
