but, i have recently joined a church band, and OH NO!
i know not near enough theory!

Looking to improv of church hymnals? Do you read? Looking to comp on chord charts?

Brad Jones teaches, and is a moderator on this board.

Bob Ferguson is an excellent bass/improv/theory teacher, although not a bass player himself.

Brian Derek teaches, and will smoke your mind!

If I had a better idea as to what you want to accomplish, I'd be happy to work with you, but my time schedule is pretty much limited to Saturday mornings until things slow down for me.

PM or email me. I play a lot of gospel amongst other things. I have a minor in music and quite an extensive theory background and knowledge.

Oh and Marty, thanks for including me on any list that includes Brian Derek

He's one of 2 people I'd take lessons from, but that's mainly for soloing/comping, that sort of thing.
