During this week-long workshop we will explore a wide range of topics around playing the electric bass. We will explore the role of the bass in a band, different techniques used, as well as various styles of bass playing. Other topics we may cover (based on student interest): improvisation, repair/maintenance, gear selection, music theory, and more. Students are encouraged to bring their bass as there will be plenty of opportunities to try our their new skills.
