double bass guitar lessons
The Double Bass goes by many names, contrabass, upright bass and dog house! The original bass of the modern-day rhythm section, originally for classical music, this instrument found its way into the Midwestern American swing bands which led to early rock and roll. Before the electric bass, this was the go-to instrument for the original rock and rollers.
Hone your craft on this beautiful instrument with the only midwestern American bass player and teacher in town who was fortunate enough to study with the legendary greats Ray Brown and Antony Cox to develop his skills.
