I'm a complete newbie, no idea how to hold a bass or plug it in.
Spent the last 15 years bashing things with sticks
but to be honest really always wanted to learn bass
I have to say I tried a few teachers in my area, but they were all guitarists who also teach Bass
I spoke to Nick and explained I wanted to learn BASS! not guitar on the bass
I must admit, I've been so impressed with Nick (had half a dozen lessons or so, so far),
he makes you feel comfortable, relaxed, has a teriffic purpose built studio, which really stops distractions! and has a great attitude towards even the dimmest of pupils.
Not only am I now playing the bass, but I also understand what I'm doing and why!
No longer does it sit in the corner and look pretty! it's now I tool I can use!
I do a 35 mile round trip to see him, and I can honestly say, I'd happily travel twice as far if he moved!
Cheers Nick
