Bass Lessons

I found a bass (acoustic/electric) teacher in Fresno who's helping me with expanding my playing into jazz. His name is Kevin Hill and although he's been broad he now plays with various groups in Fresno.

Last night we worked on some new concepts for me based around Tritone Substitutions. We worked on Thelonious Monk's piece call "Blue Monk".

I'm pretty stoked about this. I'm thinking there's some jazz love I can add to the blues lines I'm playing with MBB. It should work since a lot our stuff has a big band swing feel.
