Cristian Tisselli

I've given personalized bass lessons for more than fourteen years, and as a musician I have been playing the bass for more than twenty years. I had the great honor of playing and recording with numerous groups and recognized musicians from the U.S., Europe, and Latin America.

Check my Youtube channel and other social media networks for more information.

I was also featured in No Treble, and you can read more about my musical experiences in my Five Questions interview with Lessonface. (2011)

Lessons can be in English or Spanish!!!

In the lessons there is a strong focus on basics: what you really need to approach the bass guitar and concepts you need as a musician -- that's the way it should be, from beginners just starting out all the way to advanced musical theories and concepts, or maybe simply just wanting to play better your instrument or your favorite band songs. The utmost importance and bottom line with my teaching approach is to guide you towards what you need to learn musically, stylistically and technically.
