Cool NorCal Bassists...Instructor Recommendations, please.

Sign in to disble this ad
Hello all--
I am getting back into playing and would like to get some instruction. Who are some good instructors in N. CA? I am in Fairfield (midway between Sacramento and SF).

I am working family man so I do not have a lot to spend and would rather spend the money on lessons than the gas to get there but am willing to travel for the right instructor who will help me learn the instrument and keep it fun and light.

Any leads would be appreciated. Instructors taking students feel free to email me tomwork at msn dot com. Thanks.

Tom

True. *points to name*
But it would be "hella (adjective) teacher" since hella as an adjective modifying a noun means "a lot of"

And I can't help you with the teacher thing, sorry.

Apologies. I'm a SoCal-er.
