Hi All,

 

Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi. I'm Joe and well... "hi" 

 

I'm mostly self-taught (thanks to sweeeeet sweeeeet BassBuzz) though latterly have been having short lessons every other week as I look for a bit of guidance how to pull myself out of the confusing quagmire of the "intermediate". There's a lot to focus, and improve, on and having a teacher should help with that I think. I do sometimes get the feeling that my teacher is sort of playing for time in lessons though. I wonder what everyone's opinions about what makes a good teacher and a good lesson (as well as student, I guess).

 

I must admit I found this forum because of the classifieds initially. I'm looking to sell the 50s Style Vintera neck from my P bass (take a look at the listing if interested) that I just replaced with a more standard Jazz neck. This was definitely not the most economic choice, but I wanted to keep the P bass as I'm attached to it sentimentally and bloody love the thing. I appreciate it's quite odd to replace the main element on the bass that made it unique, but it just felt too awkward to play and comfort is king.

 

Anyway, that's enough rambling. I'm glad I've found a nice corner of the internet with like-minded individuals.

 

Jamerson. Dart. Palladino.

If the lesson delivers what you have asked for, or if the lesson has addressed an issue the teacher has highlighted (mine was muting when I took lessons - Gareth Morgan - top bloke) then it’s a result. If you find yourself wanting something more, you need to raise the issue. If they then avoid the issue, it’s time to move on.
