Do you know that I didn’t go to music college?
It’s true. (And the story is a little embarrassing.)
Ages ago, I had a decision to make.
I’d been denied entry to music school because of my grades.
I knew my future in music hinged upon my being able to create my own rigorous music education curriculum.
And the more I thought about it, the more I realized traditional music college only gives you three things…
1. Lessons and classes with expert instructors
2. Playing experience
3. Networking and relationships
Gigs I knew I could get. Practice I could do.
So I moved to London and jumped head-first into the gigging scene there…
...and I spent many hours practicing the instrument.
But I was still missing the final element of traditional music education: lessons from expert instructors.
I knew already who I would ask. If I dared to say his name out loud, for fear of jinxing it.
After all, he was probably the most respected bass player - and teacher - in the world.
If you’re a high school basketball player, you don’t just go study with Michael Jordan.
If you’re a hockey player, you don’t just go study with Wayne Gretsky.
So it seemed like a certifiably crazy idea.
But then I read an article that mentioned one of my bass idols — Gary Willis — had moved from Los Angeles to Spain. Which meant he was now just a 2.5-hour flight away…
So I decided to reach out and ask Gary if I could study with him.
My palms were sweating as I spent hours crafting the perfect email to Gary.
And after I clicked send, I started to compulsively check my inbox every few minutes, looking for a reply…
Then a few days later, it happened.
The words "From Gary Willis" popped up in my inbox.
My heart started pounding. And at first, I was afraid to open his message.
After all, what if he said "no"?
I didn’t have a backup plan. It felt like my entire career was riding on the words I was about to read when I opened Gary’s email…
So I held my breath, opened the email, and saw what Gary wrote back to me…
He said yes!
To put this in perspective — this is like a high school basketball player emailing Michael Jordan out of the blue and asking to train with him…
And then "Michael Jordan" actually saying yes!
That’s how big of a deal it was for me to study under Gary Willis.
And it’s by far the biggest reason I became the bass player that I am today.
Which is why I’m excited to give YOU the chance to study with Gary now, too.
