The Tony Grey bass academy gave me all I was looking for and much more. I have so much fun and pleasure to study with Tony.
My view of music and exercise habits have changed significantly. big thanks to the inexhaustible, detailed, and above all selfless devotion of knowledge! Thanks, one more time!
I learned about your Bass Academy a couple of weeks ago, by a Facebook message from Mike Stern. I followed one free lesson and was immediately impressed by the way you give your classes. It is innovative and the balance between study and creativity is very good. Bass players at any level can learn from the Bass Academy. Tony Grey Bass Academy is already planned in my daily routine playing!!
“Really awesome lessons and what I definitely love is that after you finish the video you start practicing and within a very short time you start seeing results and feeling motivated to do more…thanks a lot”
“Yes, you have great chops and great knowledge, I’ve been a Chicago musician since the 70’s and you’re opening up just the avenues I need to explore. Thank you for the knowledge extension Tony!!”
“Hi Tony. I’m indeed very blessed to be learning music from you. I have been playing for many years, I have not been able to go to college and study music though. So, whatever I download from your site is very useful to me. You are an amazing bass player and I’m inspired to start practicing again.”
“I can say without hesitation that your lessons have changed my playing. Thanks.”
