Roy Vogt's career spans an extraordinary range of stages, from MTV's Headbanger's Ball, the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Montreal Jazz Festival to the London Palladium, the Grand Ole Opry and the Kremlin. From punk to funk, the simplicity of country and blues to the complexity of HyperJazz and World Beat, he has played it all.
Roy was the first person to receive a Master's degree in Electric Bass Performance, from the University of Miami's prestigious music school, and has been pursuing the art of bass for more than forty years. He has mentored dozens of successful professionals, including the legendary Willie Weeks. Electric, fretless, upright - you name it: if it plays low notes and has strings, Roy is a master at playing it, and at teaching others to do the same.
Over his four-decade career, Roy has recorded or performed with an amazing list of top stars, including Larry Coryell, Victor Wooten, Dave Weckl, Tom Scott and the LA Express, Chester Thompson, Miroslav Vitous, Glen Campbell, BJ Thomas, Chet Atkins, Engelbert Humperdinck, Dickey Betts, Tony Joe White, Charlie Daniels, Jerry Reed, and dozens more.
Roy has been teaching at university level for thirty years. Since 1983 he has held the Bass Professor chair at prestigious Belmont University (Nashville, TN), one of the very few schools to offer a commercial music degree program designed to turn students into professional musicians working at the top of the industry. Roy's students have toured and recorded with notable stars such as Trisha Yearwood, Faith Hill, Little Texas, Michael W. Smith, Lady Antebellum, Chick Corea, Sir Tom Jones, Blood Sweat and Tears, Yanni, and countless other music icons.
His Teach Me Bass Guitar series brings that same university-level approach to you, taking you from a complete beginner's quick start (vol. 1), through rhythm fundamentals (vol. 2), finding your own style (vol. 3) and serious musicianship (vol. 4), all the way to a pro-player toolkit (vol. 5), so you build real skills step by step.
