I have an introductory Bluegrass Bass session available on CD or Cassette for $40.00 which covers Upright Bass technique, chord patterns, time signatures, Bass runs and four songs commonly used in Bluegrass music. Just E-mail me about "The Bass Session".



I also have a few tunes I've developed for my blind friend Dave Mitchell. He feels these would be acceptable to other blind guitarists. These tunes are explained with great detail about which finger and fret is being used because no tablature can be used in this learning process. If you are a blind guitarist, or know a blind guitarist please access the following list of tunes.
