Why Choose the Bass Over the Guitar?
Bass players have fun. They’re the key member of the band who’s always grooving off to the side, feeling and living the music and laying down that deep sound that sticks in your head when you listen to a great song.
The guitar and the bass are two different instruments. They may look similar, but they are not played the same way and they do not have the same responsibilities in a band. Bass technique, reading, and theory are unique to the bass. By selecting this instrument, you choose to be part of every song’s foundation.
Our instructors can help you become a good bass player – really good. Learn the subtleties of this complex instrument, including groove, technique, theory, tone, and so much more.
