David Green
Distance: mi
Guitar Center North Charleston 7620 Rivers Ave. Unit 140 North Charleston, SC
I am a classically trained musician and bassist with a strong desire to pass my knowledge on to aspiring bassists. I began playing bass in my early teens and quickly developed a love for the instrument while playing a wide range of genres in classic rock and blues bands, and with worship groups. Growing up in Mississippi, near Memphis, and living in Chicago provided me with a strong background in Delta and Chicago Blues, and Memphis R&B genres. While working on my undergraduate degree at the University of Southern Mississippi, I completed courses in music theory, composition, piano proficiency, and double bass. I am currently enrolled in a two year bass guitar mastery program under the direction of the legendary Joe Hubbard. Joe is one of the foremost bass educators in the world, having taught some of the most prestigious bass players around including Pino Palladino, Paul Turner (Jamiroquai), Mike Mondesir (Billy Cobham), Nick Beggs (Steven Wilson) and Dave Swift (Jools Holland). In June 2023, I completed Dave Smith’s Deep Groove Workshop. Dave Smith is best known for his work with Robert Plant (Les Zeppelin) and the Sensational Space Shifters, Fofoulah, and Afro-Blues group Juju.
Brady Daigneault

Guitar Center North Charleston 7620 Rivers Ave. Unit 140 North Charleston, SC
Robyn has been immersed in musical culture her entire life. Playing the family’s baby grand piano from an early age, she discovered the guitar at age 8. Since then, she has taken great lengths to learn about how sounds are made, and why some are more pleasing than others. Studying music theory at Wando High School, along with being in the jazz band allowed Robyn to see perspectives outside her own as being self-taught and learning basic music theory from her parents had left her with a DIY ethos. Studying at Wando allowed her to begin to see music as a professional rather than a purely recreational endeavor. Currently, she plays guitar and keys in the band Haunters, and performs impromptu at venues around the Charleston Area. Robyn's specialties lie in guitar and keys, with a special focus on music theory and production. Robyn is proficient in a wide variety of genres such as progressive rock, blues, jazz, rock, pop, R&B, and country.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each instructor customizes lessons to ensure you are learning what you like and having fun. Your instructor will start you slowly, introducing new concepts each week, plus give you exercises or easy songs to play to keep you learning at home.
Learning an instrument is an enriching and rewarding experience that creates lifelong benefits, including increased self-esteem and the boosting of memory. Additionally, benefits for school-age individuals can include improved coordination, the expanding of social skills, and higher scores in math, reading and language.
30-minute lessons allow young or beginner students to learn the basics of the instrument and start playing songs. 60-minute lessons are ideal for more advanced students looking to progress faster and focus on the finer points of technique.
This varies by age and the type of goals the student has set out to achieve. However, most new students usually spend 15–30 min. practicing daily, while advanced students can practice for an hour or more each day in between lessons.
Our flexible curriculum allows students of all skill levels to experience growth. We help create a foundational understanding of music theory through the style of music you want to play. Our instructors will work to understand your goals and passions, and make sure you are on the path to learning what you want at your own speed.
Our Lessons staff will work with you to determine your current skill level, stylistic interest and ambitions. We'll then help you choose an instructor who best suits your style and goals. If at any point, you'd like to change instructors, let us know.
