Dirtydave77 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Good evening one and all Hope everyone is doing well.. Never really know what to say on these sort of things.. But here goes. My name is David and I have been trying to play the bass/guitar for about 16 years now. Mostly playing along with cd's in the bedroom, or trying to make some sort of noise with mates. Still haven't really got a clue what to do with it to be honest. So I think it's about time I got myself some lessons! Are there any teachers in the west London area that would show me what to do with a 5 string? Would be up for learning some blues, rock, jazz and METAL!!! Nothing too technical to start with. But just enough to point me in the right direction. Well here's what I have so far: Washburn BB5 (purchased last weekend!) Epiphone Les Paul special And my mates 10w practice amp Well there you go.. SO any tips, hints, tabs or just a chat. Bring it on Peace David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xilddx Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hello Mate. Jakesbass has visited me in Ealing before, depends on when he's rehearsing. Amazing teacher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Woodcock Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hi David, and welcome. I teach and am based just down the road from you in Acton. Drop me a PM if you'd like any more info. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Welcome. Theory and technique forum may be a good place to look to tide you over until you find a teacher. It's better than a book as you can ask questions. Obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarcher Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Hello and welcome David. I was down in Hanwell today at a rather good guitar shop tucked away in the back streets. I'm just up the road in South Harrow where we have a couple of locals doing open mic nights. I can put you on to an excellent teacher up in Carpenders Park if your interested. Pm for a phone number if you want more info. Enjoy the site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
