Bass Guitar Information
Bass lessons can tend to be a different approach than guitar lessons. Bass players have a much different role in a band then a guitar player and they are not as much of a stand alone instrument. The bass player is the one who drives the harmonic structure and the groove while the lead guitarist or vocalist is really in the spot light.
Electric Bass is a great instrument is learn and with time will bring much fulfillment and fun!

STUDENT REVIEWS
“I was completely new to stringed instruments when I began bass lessons with Joey. He had me up and able to play on worship team within the first few months. His skills as a teacher helped me achieve my goals with the electric bass all while feeling comfortable as an “older” student.” -Francee
“We wouldn’t choose anyone but Joey for bass lessons! Not only are his lessons backed by amazing talent, knowledge and skills, but he makes the lessons fun as well. We would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of improving their talents! You rock Joey! (And now…so does Josh! =)” -Nanci
