Review About Me
I am a classically trained musician and bassist with a strong desire to pass my knowledge on to aspiring bassists. I began playing bass in my early teens and quickly developed a love for the instrument while playing a wide range of genres.
Growing up in Mississippi, near Memphis, and living in Chicago provided me with a strong background in Delta and Chicago Blues, and Memphis R&B genres. While working on my undergraduate degree, I completed university courses in music theory, composition, and piano proficiency.
Dave G. has over 27 years of music experience in the Summerville area.
Dave G. is proficient in and teaches Bass Guitar Lessons .Degree and Field of Study:
Applied Music - Jazz Studies Program. Three years.March 1977
University of Southern Mississippi
What to expect in my Bass Guitar Lessons
Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced
What students should expect My online lessons are taught with a three camera system. You will see not only me, but you will see my plucking and fretting hands in separate frames. This will allow you to observe exactly what I am teaching.
Curriculum is tailored especially for you. Interested in learning how to play bass guitar? I can take you from “rookie to rocker.”
If you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced player seeking to expand your knowledge of the instrument and applicable theory, I have the experience and training to help you progress further in your bass guitar journey.
Want to read music? I can teach you from the Roger Filiberto Bass Method of books.
Areas where I can help you develop in your role as a bass guitarist:
• Proper and effective technique
• Finger, pick, and slap styles
• Music theory, scales, circle of fifths
• How to develop bass lines
• Reading and analyzing sheet music, charts, and tablature
• The Greek Modal System, The Nashville Number System
• Developing an effective practice routine
• Bass guitar and gear selection
• Optimum instrument set up and intonation.
My passion for bass guitars and equipment led to developing extensive experience with bass amplification, speaker enclosures, effects pedals, accessories, and application. I can provide guidance for instrument and equipment selection for almost any budget.
Lessons can be taught in my studio, in your home, or via webcam.
If you are a beginner and do not have a bass guitar, I can provide a right handed instrument for in-person lessons.

First Lesson
I started playing bass through youtube videos for about a year. I began to feel that I had hit a wall and was not progressing as I would like so I went searching for some lessons. I found Taylor Robinson and was pleased to see that there were several teachers available in my area. Based on Dave's experience I chose Dave and I had my first lesson with Dave this past week. I found Dave to be a very approachable, passionate and knowledgable bass player with a wealth of experience. Dave began by correcting some bad habits I had developed over time with the position of my fretting hand and muting as well providing some daily exercises to reinforce correct technique. We also worked on fretboard awareness using alternative patterns for arpeggios and modes. In addition I picked up a few riffs and discussed adding a metronome and groove trainer into my practice routine. The same evening after the lesson, I received a email from Dave with a summery of the day as there was a fair amount of information to unpack from the days lessons. I am very pleased with my initial experience and would not hesitate to recommend Dave to anyone looking to take bass lessons. I look forward to my next lesson. Gerald wrote on Wed, 05 Apr 2023
