Paul Wolfe
Guest teacher profile: Paul Wolfe
Paul Wolfe is a bass player and teacher who lives in South West London.
Paul began teaching seriously two years ago - and got into teaching when he gave his 5 year old son a bass guitar for his birthday (of course, he has visions of his son growing up to be like Victor Wooten!). Paul's approach to teaching is very much song based. There's a great quote from either Billy Sheehan or Jeff Berlin - he can't remember who - who said "The answers to all your musical questions are contained in the grooves of your record collection." And for 99% of bass players that quote is probably true. When Thomas asked Paul to be a guest teacher he wondered what to teach here - as Thomas has been prolific over the years with his great videos. So he decided that what he would post here would be lessons showing beginners and intermediates how they can play lines to some great songs. First up is PUMP IT UP - bassline by Bruce Thomas. In the following weeks we're going to look in detail at tunes like WHAT YOU'RE DOING by RUSH, SWEET HOME ALABAMA and more in the 'classic rock' vein. If you've got any requests you could head over to my website and use the contact form to let me know and I'll see what I can do.

: Hello community!!
: Will your bass be mass produced? Do you think it will be affordable (relatively speaking) Will it be offered online for us Americans that wanna buy it?
: Thank you very much.

: My sig bass is going to be released at the Frankfurt musikmesse in midmarch. I dont know anything about price yet
: Hey MarloweDK! Thanks for all you do! I've gotten into more funk over the last year thanks to your lessons and playalongs. How about a playalong of December 1963 (oh What a Night) by Franki Valli and the Four Seasons?
: Hey Marlowe, any words on when your signature bass is being offered on the market? Any idea on the price range? Really excited about it but I've only read one article about it.
