Hi Janek, I was wondering if you do Skype lessons apart from just the video? I'd be super interested in private on line lessons if that is possible. Thanks very much! Ekspain

Hey, I'm a double bassist, classical mostly, and some jazz. I've been playing for nearly 18 years. I was wondering if that may help with the electric, though there are the obvious weaknesses of the 3rd finger... also, where is a good place to start? I've been checking online...
