Serious bass teacher needed in eastern NC.

Ok most of the people who teach bass here are guitarists who teach you to play roots, but I'm seeking a teacher beyond mediocre.

A teacher with heavy jazz influences and maximum versatility would be appreciated. Techniques such as double thumb and sweeping are a plus. Just let me know of any amazing bass teachers within an hour and a half of goldsboro (raleigh and beyond)

im not sure any teachers would teach you that, its very rare as its a move used by only a couple of bassists

[The_Ryst]

I mean I don't expect them to know those techniques, but a solid teacher which could teach me jazz fundamentals and numerous styles is waht I'm really seeking.

[Digo]

trust me, even to play jazz, you have to know what al the other bassists know, Les Claypool could play Jazz, you need to know it all to be a proper bassist then work with your best attribute

No. No they aren't. What you need is someone who will give you a good foundation in musical fundamentals and the ability to hear with clarity and understanding.

You might want to see if Ron Brendle is teaching.
