George Urbaszek

Do you live in a remote area? Do you want to learn in you own time and at your own pace? Do you want to do each lesson in stages?

Is there a problem area in your playing? Uniquely individualized bass lessons by correspondence are guaranteed to help. Great for people who can't get to a qualified teacher!

My extensive tests show that Tonerider pickups equal the quality and sound of the pickups in my American Fender Precision and Jazz basses

Statement of Intent

• My objective is to provide high quality music instruction via audio-correspondence, online, on CD and CD ROM for bass players as well as instruction in soloing techniques for other instrumentalists and vocalists.
• My own 30-year-experience and familiarity with most genres of bass guitar and double bass playing provides the foundation for my lessons.
• I cater for beginners and professionals alike, with concepts ranging from groove creation to advanced jazz soloing.
• No matter what level of experience the student may have, I endeavor to bring out the student's best in both technical and musical terms through a disciplined, systematic and fun approach to learning. Each correspondence lesson will be uniquely individualized according to the player's needs and desires.
• These lessons are especially beneficial for players who are unable to have face-to-face lessons with a qualified teacher and provide the best alternative.

Privacy Policy

• I am a one-man-operation. Any material sent to me will be handled with absolute discretion and will neither be seen nor heard by anyone else.
• I give my assurance as an individual and as a professional that all information will remain confidential.
