I've been playing bass on and off for a few years now, and as my main instrument for the last six months. I have never had a leason on the bass, though I did have several years of leasons on the guitar and five or six years on the cello before that.

Ideally I'd love to be able to take regular lessons on the bass but with a full time job and night school I don't have the time (or the money, studying, band practices, drinking, they all add up) at the moment. None the less, I'd love to sit down with a good teacher for a few hours to get some pointers on technique, discuss practicing habits, all that jazz.

So, could any of you recommend a good, London based teacher? Feel free to recommend yourself if you really know your stuff. Names/telephone numbers/e-mail addresses would be much appreciated. Also, if you're suggesting someone else could you let me know your real-world name so that I can say who gave me the recommendation. Feel free to PM me if you don't want to post your name, for tax reasons or whatever.

Many thanks for any help you can give.

Cheers

I sent you a PM.

Mike Flynn (http://www.munkio.com/music/music_lessons.html) teaches bass in london. I believe he's a TB'er as well. He seems to know one or two things.

Thats the funny thing about the internet from here in Ireland I can get a guy from london a bass teacher in london having never met either of them nor been to london myself :confused:

(If mike gets a new student I want comission :D)

Steve Lawson teaches in London and has his own forum (which he shares with Michael Manring) here...
