Private lessons available for: Bass

Enthusiastic support from Chris Symer along with detailed feedback and careful instruction about how to progress. Also a nice survey of essential approaches to walking bass lines coupled with many recordings of great players using the approaches. I also enjoyed the other student's input and support.
