Rod Goelz's Interests
General
I TEACH, WRITE and PLAY. I teach private and group lessons, all things related to contemporary musical performance (music of the last 100 years). As a musician, I'm a freelance bassist, guitarist, mandolin player, and songwriter, based out of York, PA. My band GROOVE JONES is the ongoing FUNK outfit that is the center of my musical existence these days--it's a privilege playing with this group of guys. Check us out... we're going places. And then there's HUM OF ONE, my solo project--ORIGINAL MUSIC. Check out my BASSES LOADED Instructional Series, my bass guitar instructional series (5 Books). COMING SOON... MAKE IT FUNKY Instructional Series (for Guitar AND Bass)... the language of funk made easy.
