Jed Lingat is a graduate of the Berklee College of Music and has spent years making a living as a bass player in NYC. His teaching stems from his experience as a gigging musician as well as almost 20 years of playing. A few artists Jed has performed/recorded with are Childish Japes, J. Hoard, Sami Stevens, and Matthew Hartnett & The Gumbo All-Stars.

I’ve worked with Jed for over a decade and he continues to teach me new ways to improve the quality of my playing in a way that’s fun and exciting.

Riley Hagan created Bass Lessons Unlimited in 2002 and was one of the early pioneers of on-line bass education in 2009. He has taken the most effective elements he has learned from his professors at Berklee College of Music, as well as studying with the brilliant Michael Manring, and refined his teaching method with more than a thousand students over the last 20 years.

Riley has been the only teacher so far that has made a big difference in my playing.

Pat Abbott has a Bachelor’s Degree and Master’s Degree in Music Education from Nazareth College of Rochester. He possesses 18 years of professional music experience and 15 years of teaching experience. He has had the pleasure of performing with Bill Watrous, as well as many other artists, and currently performs with Triple Play Quartet. Pat enjoys teaching both upright and electric bass to students of all skill levels.

Pat’s guidance has been instrumental in my development as a bass player.

Ben Wallace-Ailsworth, an alumni of the Berklee College of Music, has over 15 years of professional music experience and over 8 years of teaching experience. He has performed and studied with various, well-known artists including Jay Lane (Primus, Ratdog) and Sheila E. (Prince).

Fantastic lessons. Riley is attentive in gauging both affirming lesson selections according to students’ interest and challenging new territory. His warm support and fun manner welcome kids and adults alike. His own musical talent is a great role model and mentor for players. I was heartbroken when my last teacher relocated, but then so happy I found Riley!

I have taken lessons with Riley for six months now, with very positive results. He has a good teaching method and is very patient and easy going. He is flexible with his approach and willing to spend time answering questions. I would highly recommend him as an instructor for anyone wishing to learn the bass.
