True that... I tried teaching some ten years ago or so, and it is a tricky skill to nail down. Gave up pretty quick then. I think (hope?) that I've matured since then and have better capabilities to express myself well. That said, I am looking at really getting into my own personal learning again before taking anyone else on!

Hey guys, I'm trying to break out of a bit of a rut - normal thing of working in the office all day, then trying to have time to play and gig in the evening. I'm considering starting up teaching bass, just a part-time evening thing to start. I have a background in music theory, sight reading etc, though I do need to brush up on it again! The thing is, I'm pretty happy with the content, but I'm wondering how those who teach structure your lessons? I could happily talk bass for hours, but I know that may not be the most useful way forward for a new player! Any hints, tips or cheats from those who teach? :-)
