Rob is primarily a bass player in Columbus, Ohio. He has over 35 years of experience in the studio, live, and teaching in almost every genre. He also plays guitar, keyboards, and whatever instrument he gets his hands on as well as sings background vocals (in the bass range of course).

There are 10 songs in that player on the bottom left from 3 different bands that Rob played bass on. He also played guitar and background vocals on a few of them as well.

 

Teaching

Rob has been teaching bass since about 1990 and continues to do so today. He believes that a good foundation of music theory is vital to the role of a bassist, whether as a beginner or a working professional. Starting right from the beginning, it is part of learning all about the role of a bassist.
