In addition to guitar and ukelele, Jim also offers bass guitar lessons to beginner and intermediate students. Although primarily a guitarist, Jim has played bass professionally as a fill-in for local rock bands, in community theater pit orchestras, and on a number of recordings.
Jim’s bass students have performed in various capacities as well – you can hear them in local rock bands, church worship groups, theater pit orchestras and high school jazz bands!
