Yes. In a New Milford live online bass lesson, the teacher can hear your notes, timing, and groove, and see your hands if the camera is placed to show the instrument. A close view helps with plucking and fretting, though small movements and subtle sound details can be harder to judge through video. Set the camera so both hands and the bass neck are visible, and keep the room quiet enough to hear each note clearly.
A student should have a comfortable electric bass, reliable internet, a device with camera, and a quiet space. A tuner, picks, strap, instrument cable, headphones, music stand, or small amp may also help once the teacher knows the student's bass type, with enough detail for focused weekly practice.
For most beginners, a full-scale electric bass is a sound starting point, but choose the scale that feels comfortable to reach and hold. A short-scale bass can suit a smaller player or anyone who prefers a shorter neck. Acoustic-electric basses are bulkier and still need amplification. In a New Milford home where practice sound carries, headphones with a suitable amp can help.
