I’ve helped hundreds of people just like you pick up the bass, make real progress, and actually enjoy the process—many of them finding me through my YouTube channel, Ted Talks Bass, where over 30,000 bass players tune in for practical, no-nonsense lessons.
From complete beginners to weekend warriors getting back into it, my approach is built for people with real lives and real responsibilities—not endless time to practice.

Whether you’re learning to jam with friends, join a worship band, or just groove for your own enjoyment—there’s a place for you here. 

 How Can I Help? 

Groove First. 

Every song teaches something—technique, theory, ear training—it’s all built in.
You just need someone to help you spot it… until you can teach yourself.

The amount of theory? That depends on your goals.
Some want the basics. Others go deeper. I keep it practical, never overwhelming.

Whether you’re starting fresh, returning after years, or stuck in a loop of random lessons—I’ll help you build confidence, unlock the fretboard, and sound like the bassist you’ve always wanted to be.

This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about real progress and playing with confidence.
