Struggling to find the sort of teacher I want in the immediate vicinity. Seeing as improving (drastically!) on fretless is one of my goals, I wondered if having lessons with a DB person would work re intonation and practice "management" if they could ignore the bowing element of orchestral playing.

 

Any thoughts or experience thereof?

Totally a great idea! 

being taught by someone who is dealing with intonation in a way the usual bass guitar isn't is great. 

I started off as a bass guitarist, but then got on to the double bass, which has in turn helped me with the bass guitar as I've had to be methodical about it all. 

Hope lessons went well! 

Hi, hope all is well!

Since the pandemic has hit, I have some more teaching slots open. 

I'm a professional bass player, playing both double bass and bass guitar, as well as a composer.

I am based in St Albans, at the moment teaching online (obviously). My rates are £23 per 30 minute and £40 per hour. I teach a lot of ages over a lot of levels, jazz/classical/grade/not grades/harmony. 

My website; https://www.huwvwilliams.com/

Here are some vids of me playing so you can hear what I sound like;

bass guitar and double bass

Get in touch if you have any questions about the lessons, [email protected]

Looking forward to hearing from you!
