About Me

I have been playing electric/upright bass for 25+ years, performing with a diverse group of musicians. Everything from loud rock to mellow bluegrass.

I have been concentrating on upright bass, and am very proficient in rockabilly/swing/bluegrass/country styles, and can teach you these styles, and how to slap the bass for that traditional sound. I can teach the Nashville System of notation used in these styles as well. My focus is on teaching to play by ear, and teaching to play with others in anticipation of performing in band settings. I seem to have a knack for getting people to understand the basics.

Mike P. has over 10 years of music experience in the Austin area.

Mike P. is proficient in and teaches Bass Guitar Lessons, Orchestral Lessons .

Review:

Mike

I can attest to Mike's bass playing skills, as well as professionalism, as I have played guitar with him in White Ghost Shivers for 15 years. Jeremy Slemenda wrote on Mon, 31 Aug 2015
