The bass bridges rhythm and harmony: it locks in with the drums to create the groove and supports the chords behind the whole band. Learning bass means listening to others and playing what the music needs with a steady beat. Lessons develop both hands' technique, bass-line construction and styles such as rock, funk, pop, salsa and cumbia, at home in Bogotá and the surrounding area or online.

No. The bass has its own technique and function, and you can start from scratch. If you play guitar you have an advantage to place the notes at the mast, but the right hand, the rhythmic role and how to think the lines are learned again.
To start with, the most common feature is a four-string bass: it's easier to manage and cover most of the repertoire. The five-string bass adds useful serious notes to some styles and you can move to them later if you need them. Check with your teacher before buying.
