Video Lessons

Please note: these video lessons among others are in the process of being recorded and prepared. We aim to have some of them available here on the site by the end of this year (2008).

Please don't be put off by what appears to be apparent simplicity of the topics listed here at the moment. We are aiming to cover 'all' aspects of Jazz Double Bass from very basic issues to very advanced topics.

Don't forget to join the mailing list so we can tell you when new video lessons are available.
