AdrianT Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I got a Stentor double bass about a year ago and I love it! I'm currently doing some live work locally (and have actually done a paid gig with more on the way) in the acoustic blues/bluegrass/country blues style. However, I'm very aware that my technique may not be all that it should be, so I would be interested in hearing from a tutor in the South Cheshire area, or perhaps further afield, who could help me progress. I am keen to learn pizzicato style, rather than classical. Can anyone help? Many thanks. Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW are you in any band(s) locally? The music scene around here seems pretty good at the moment (despite lack of bass tutors) Regards, Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
