Hi Guys,

I'm looking at taking the bass lessons in Waltons.
Just wondering has anyone had bass lessons there, if so what were they like?

I would be a pretty good bass player but i think i've gotten as good as i'm going to on my own. I've no problem keeping time, reading tabs and playing about 99% of songs i try. But i'm useless at theory and slap bass.

Also, Is there anyone else people have used who they thought were really good.

Any advise would be great.

Cheers,
Ciaran

waltons! :O it's a fair bit of money to splash out for just theory and a bit of work going into your slap technique... get a private teacher!

pm me if you can't find one!
