About Enrique

I'm from Spain, living in London since 2016. I started to play bass when I was 18 years old. Self-taught most part of the way and a bit with a hometown little private music academy. I had the luck to have a good bunch of friends to play with. We played funk & fusion (rock, bossa, jazz...). Those styles opened me a wide variety in rhythms and metrics. Few years later I worked 10 years as a professional musician in many groups and ensembles touring around the country. Was an excellent opportunity to continue learning and playing more different styles like Latin ones: salsa, cha cha cha, samba, cumbia, etc...). I also played in a flamenco trio with 2 guitar players which introduced me to the rich harmonies and rhythms that flamenco has. In 2012 I completed a "training for trainers" course, also that very year I passed the RSL Grade 8 Bass exam and started to work in a private music academy close to my hometown. After more than 25 years playing I'm still passionate about bass and pretty sure I'll be forever.

About the lesson

Are you interested in learning bass techniques, rhythm, composition, music theory and styles (from Jazz, Rock, Blues and Funk to Pop, Latin, Flamenco, Fusion...)? Get in touch! After setting the theory basics I will guide you to play the music genre(s) that you are passionate about with multiple tools to develop your own style of playing. Regular lessons are about 1 hour, sometimes it can be 1:30 if required (same price). All ages, all levels. I've been playing electric bass for more than twenty years, of which ten as a professional session player, four as a teacher at a private music school and 4 years tutoring online. Enhanced DBS certificate is up to date.

Enrique's response
My lesson with will has been an extremely satisfactory one. His great right hand technique (muting with the thumb) and knowledge about triads and chord tones is telling me that he will improve harmony and techniques fast. I'm looking forward to have more lessons with him!

Perfect! Enrique is a fantastic bass tutor. In the short time I've been taught by him I've learned so much. In the past during my life I've found that some musical teachers put almost all of the emphasis on the technical/physical muscle memory, simply going through the motions as they teach you - this is not the case with Enrique. He explains everything that he is teaching you in detail yet keeps it easy to absorb, and is exceedingly thorough in making sure you understand at a fundamental level how everything works and why it works. The explanation of both what (technique) and why (theory) really solidifies all of the information he is telling you.
I really can't recommend Enrique enough!

Perfect! Enrique is an amazing bass teacher! I've only been taking lessons for about six weeks, but my playing and understanding of music theory have improved massively. He explains things in a way that makes the patterns in theory easy to grasp, making learning both enjoyable and rewarding—even as a beginner. On top of that, he's a great guy, and our lessons are always a good laugh. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn bass!

Enrique's response
Beni has a good level of commitment, which makes me feel very comfortable when we meet and excited to share my knowledge with him. He practices regularly and I see that his finger skills are improving quite a bit. The muscle memory is kicking in. I am looking forward to starting to take a more practical approach, playing chord progressions and exploring with him the possibilities of functional harmony, different styles and techniques.

Perfect! I couldn't be more proud of how much I think I've learned in only four lessons. The way he has to explain theory makes you see music and patterns in a different way, much more useful than anything I've being taught before.

Enrique gives you the best foundations for you to understand the fundamental building blocks that will open your mind to discover how everything works. I feel that I always leave with a powerful nugget of knowledge that I can practice and build on it, because of the interconnections he makes you see.

I'm just a bass beginner with some knowledge of music, but I believe that even the most advanced bass player would benefit from Enrique's vast knowledge. Music it's limitless and he keeps exploring with passion, which makes him genius level.

Enrique's response
It was a very good introductory lesson and I'm very happy with her attitude. We've seen Diatonic Triads, that's a lot to start with but factible as Yujiao has previous music theory knowledge and showed a nice dexterity to be a beginner with the instrument. I'm sure she will get a clean technique very soon if she practices regularly. Looking forward to do more lessons with her.

I'm happy with Ben's tutoring. He has previous knowledge of classical theory as he plays piano but also an eager eye learning electric bass so I'm avid to help him to improve his playing through Western Music theory and bass techniques.

Alexandra have got easily the concept of Triad starting in each of the seven degrees of the Diatonic modes. That it's an advantage studying Music theory and a good indicator that she will improve quickly if she practices regularly.

I’m so lucky to have had lessons by Enrique, he has taught me so much. His background and depth in various styles of music really comes through in his teaching.

In spite of my not always fast pace of learning Enrique was always patient and highly motivating, he introduced me to a ton of techniques and skills I wasn’t aware existed, and a ton of music theory I wasn’t aware of too.

I would highly recommend Enrique to anyone!

Enrique gives engaging lessons personalised to my interests. His knowledge of theory is very advanced, and he has a clear way of expressing complex topics. He also provides a lot of lesson materials, such as music sheets with exercises on them, which he personally makes out of lesson time. He is overall very caring about his students, and very skilled. I have progressed hugely. Highly recommend!

Enrique is a great teacher. He’s very patient and good at explaining things in a way that is clear and has all kind of ‘hacks’ to make bass playing easier. Also, his lessons are a great mix of bass playing and music theory.
This guy is a true master of bass guitar and will inspire you to play and practice everyday.

When did you first develop a passion for music and your favourite instrument?
My dad liked to put music at home on morning weekends at considerable volume.. He had an eclectic taste with a huge vinyl collection. For instance, I remember being a kid, waking up with the Four Seasons (Vivaldi), Bob Marley, Queen or AC/DC.
My passion about Bass was "love at first glance" once I tried it. When I was 18, R.H.C.P released Blood Sugar Sex Magic and Flea playing style captivated me. After that, digging deep about Bass, Marcus Miller, Jaco pastorius, Jeff Berlin, Jeff Andrews, and more to come....I couldn't stop.
Is there a particular type of music or artist that you listen to on a loop without it driving you crazy?
Every music style has good stuff and I like to swap from one to another so my "loop" has variety enough to never get fed up. Now, when I'm obsessed with a theme, I can be listening for hours, days and months and never get tired.
Explain to us the most difficult or riveting course you could personally give to a student of music.
I could think a couple of them, one related to different techniques I use and another only possible with a really good music theory foundation:"Jazz, advanced music theory"
What do you think is the most complicated instrument to master and why?
All instruments are complicated to master but string ones have the advantage to easily transpose from one tonality to another, guess that could answer the question but let's say Piano. Combining two hands, huge polyphony, comping and soloing at the same time. Does it sound challenging?
What are your keys to success?
Hard work, perseverance, study and practice routine, being perfectionist, avoiding frustration and having a good time.
Name three musicians you dream of meeting in your favourite bar in the early hours of the morning. Explain why.
Allow me to say not three but four.
In a bar called "Heaven" I would enjoy having a drink, chatting and watching them playing together (would be the best experience!) to Miles Davis ( trumpeter ), Jaco Pastorius ( Bass player ), Paco de Lucia ( Spanish guitar player ) and Chick Corea ( Piano/keyboard player ). Four beasts which transformed and evolved music with their amazing feeling, virtuosity and creativity.
Provide a valuable anecdote related to music or your days at music school.
I just was in a private music academy for a short period as I've been self-taught most of the path so my advice for beginners is grab your bass ( or the instrument you play ) and experiment with it, spend time with it. Use your ears, have fun without rules until reaching the point of curiosity about how theory works. In this way, learning with someone, school or whatever option you choose, will be like walking on an enlightenment path.
So it was anecdotal how my colleagues at the academy used to get surprised about how fast I could get lines, walkins and grooves with the things we were taught.
What are the little touches that make you a Superprof in music?
According to my students: infectious passion. Patience and comprehension, Sense of humor and being able to explain things in more than one way until it becomes clear.
