[Squidfinger]

Layton (don't know his last name)


He's a really great guy thats been playing bass and guitar in bands for years. He's in 4 bands at the moment. He's self taught but knows his theory fairly well.

Dave Overthrow: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Authored a bunch of books, regular columnist for Bass Player, all-around great musician.

 

[Nick Bassman]

Stuart Bradley (a great teacher and person)

 

[Techmonkey]

I've never had lessons, I learnt everything I know either from the Tb forums or from friends/watching other bassists. I had piano and violin lessons for years though.

 

[mike sancho]

Matt Miller, great musician, greater person.

 

[Lorenzini]

Jeff Berlin.

Just kidding, I teach his kids piano and he refuses to teach me bass because he wants me to study piano (my primary instrument).

But he hasn't even heard me play bass yet!

 

[iamthebassman]

Me.

 

[mercbass]

Nigel Waye was my bass teacher. He was bar-none the best musician i've ever met/played with, he taught me so much about music. Sadly, he passed away a little over a year ago. R.I.P

 

[wyliee]

Steve Kim. He's been around the Seattle area for a long time and is a fantastic teacher.

I've also taken lessons from Todd Johnson and Norm Stockton. Both masters of their instruments, great teachers and overall awesome people.

 

[Bryan R. Tyler]

The only teacher I had was named John Hinckley. I only took lessons from him for about six months, but he was one of the nicest people I've ever know.

Never mentioned Jodie Foster to me, so I assumed he was a different John Hinckley

 

[akuma12]

John Toedtman, fun guy to talk to and a fantastic teacher. Graduated from the Peabody Conservatory. First teacher that's ever been able to really explain walking bass lines to me. If you're in the Cinci/Dayton area of Ohio, and need a teacher, look him up.

Bruce Gertz

Great choice! Be sure to check out John Lockwood as well. He's as good as they get. He and Bruno Raburg are my favorites in the area.

Once I get back to Florida, I'll be studying under Dave LaRue.
