Who's you have as your teacher?

[SlapPopBass]

If any of these big shots could be your teachers, who'd you like it to be, and if so why? Leave your thoughts and comments.

 

[CyberMatteo]

Marcus is a complete player. He plays fretted, fretless and acoustic. He can play funk and jazz. IMHO he can do it all very well and would be an amazing teacher.

 

[eddododo]

Vic; him one-on-one instead of 'workshopping' would be enlightening

 

[JimmyM]

Marcus, since Jaco's dead.

 

[Inconnu]

I choose Marcus for the same reasons as CyberMatteo. Billy Sheehan would also have been interesting...

 

[cfsporn]

I'd choose Victor Wooten because he is probably one of the nicest people I have ever met. Since he isn't on the list Entwistle or Marcus.

 

[truecanadian04]

Rex Brown because he is a solid metal bassist and because we have similar styles. Also, he looks down to earth and easy to talk to.

Seeing that we are taking lessons from dead people,

I would want to spend my time with Duck Dunn

 

[3star2nr]

None of them work for my style but I'd love to jam with all of them

 

[3star2nr]

I'd go with john Paul Jones if I had to pick a teacher

 

[afiaowo]

The one who could teach theory as well as pull back enough to not teach his own style. Which one that is I don't know.

I voted for John Entwistle because I prefer his style.

I think I would need to disqualify Jaco because I would get sick of hearing "I'm the best bass player in the world!"

OK sorry ...

 

[MyMusic]

I picked Marcus Miller. From all the interviews I've seen with him he seems to have a wealth of knowledge about all phases of playing.

 

[SidMau]

I'm surprised Jamerson hasn't been mentioned yet...

 

[afiaowo]

OK sorry ...

Please don't misunderstand why I posted that. I don't like people shaming others for their spelling and punctuation. Let a alone someone (I'm assuming) who doesn't use it as their first language.
