In most ways, he's very good about letting me find my own way in things overall...every now and then tho, he gets a little twitchy about stuff and needs to be reminded (by his own admission0 that there can be more than one way to do something.
man..... i've had like 5 different people i've tried taking lessons from.... 3 of them were horrible, like they wanted $40 an hour to watch them show me how good they were.... 1 was decent but would not listen to the fact that i had no interest in learning to read, and the other was awesome. he plays mostly Jazz and is more of a theory and music relationship teacher, but he plays a 6 predominantly and tailored his original lesson plans to that, stripped out steps to make a 4 or 5 string version. was refreshing learning from somebody that used the same instrument and actually LIKED that version of the bass.
only problem was that he wouldn't really pay attention to how little i told him i know, and i was in a place where i was going, doing almost no practice/homework on my own so the next step meant way less than it should have to me.
hurm. in a way better place now to do work at home and i'm starting to feel the holes in what i don't know (almost EVERYthing) poking through since my singer/keyboardist actually knows what she's doing.
"neat. is that in B minor?"
"urrrrr....... i dunno. it's got a B and urm.... *tap tap tap* a F# and a C. wassat?"
good idea Muddy! think i'm going to get at him about starting up again! thanks!
