pro's that give lessons?

[funkybass]

Does anyone know any famous pro bass players that give lessons?

[Fetusyolk]

i heard wooten and flea do

[20db pad]

A number of 'em do. John Patitucci, Jimmy Haslip, Bill Dickens, Adam Nitti, Dave LaRue, Stu Hamm, Kai Eckhardt, and Doug Wimbish will take private students, if their schedules allow.

Some names like Billy Sheehan, Marcus Miller, Nathan East, Jeff Berlin, and Vic Wooten will do clinics or group instruction, but don't appear to do one-on-one sessions.

In any event, be prepared to pay a premium for the opportunity to study with a top-tier player. Fees can range from $50 to $125 an hour.

Pro =/= famous

There's a great bunch of pro players that are fantastic musicians although not famous. I believe there's a lot of really great musicians that just never becomes famous because they perhaps don't know all the right people or don't just market themselves or even want to become famous.

Nothing wrong with taking lessons from famous musicians, but I think you learn as much from less famous musicians as well, and for much less money. Just don't stick to the same teacher for too long times.

Most will do a single lesson if you're good enough, some do take regular students. If you like someone just contact them and ask. But a lot of them aren't good teachers they have been playing so long they forgot what's its like to be a student.

Tony Grey also takes students!

[Blake Bass]

Anthony Wellington gives lessons. Gerald Veasley gives lessons. Dave LaRue gives lessons.

I don't think Victor gives lessons per se, but he does run Bass Nature camp.

Very true, you can be a genius at something and be a bad teacher - can't relate the ideas outside your own scope. Gladly, this doesn't happen all that often, imhe.

My mother traded a sheep for a lesson for me from Glen Moore of Oregon, a real eye opener.
