none.:dunno:

i'm totally self tought and i've done a bad job:D

i sing aswell so i tend use the bass almost like some singer/songwriters use a guitar....i'm they guy real bass players hate. i'm not playing it properly if you get me, i've never had the chance to learn properly as i have had to write the songs and then have no time to work on nice basslines. i want to learn to create riffs properly (they very rarely work out for me).

i'm living in blackrock with the folks at the moment.

Bam Landric

ok and what type of music are you into is it singer songwriter kinda acoustic stuff or heavier and what sort of music do you write.

ferdi

no its not acousticy stuff, but then again i have no real fixed style.

influnences:

rock eg: pixies, smashing pumpkins
pop punk eg:weezer, alkiline trio
ska eg: mad caddies, mighty mighty bosstones
reggae eg: police
ska punk eg: rancid/operation ivy
swing eg: ella fitzgerald, sinatra
prog rock eg: muse,placebo
alternative eg:cake
punk eg: nofx
acousticy eg: dashboard confessional

and yet i sound likenone of them:rolleyes:

ferdi

so how would your lessons run?

what would we cover in the first bout of classes theory and technique wise?

Tzetze

I'm guessing that Bam can only post from work or something like that. Hopefully, we'll hear back from him tomorrow.

I'm also keen to drop all the bad habits I've accumulated over (omg!) 15 years of self-teaching (not that it's reached much of a level).

Bam, when you say you're willing to travel... how far would that travelling be? Would Co. Monaghan (Carrickmacross) be totally out of the question?

Bam Landric

professorchair4ahead@hotmail.com is my email if thats more convenient for anyone.

Carrickmacross would be a bit far Tzetze would you be moving nearer to dublin any time soon ?

after an individual assessment, the theory part of the lesson would be scales, chord progressions, composition and musical styles

the technique part would be fretboard memorisation stretchin exercises agilty, muting techniques and slappin etc.

This is a fifteen year old thread. I think it's safe to assume that the people looking for lessons have since them.
