@vampixxkitty Just purchase any $5-10 video that teaches you how to properly hold, pick, and mute your instrument. Practice sequences of notes by repeating them for 2-3 minutes, because songs last a while and you want to stay in rhythm the whole time. As for learning how to actually play-play, just listen to lots of bass parts in your favorite songs and imitate what they do.

@vampixxkitty you'll be a master in a week. Bass is EZ PZ.

@vampixxkitty Good luck :3
-
@vampixxkitty it's just generally probably the easiest instrument. Good luck in learning it either way.
-
@vampixxkitty my previous comment may sound over-simplified, but it occured to me that method requires a play-by-ear perfect-pitch approach. You may not be able to do that.
-
@vampixxkitty i've played bass, i know plenty of people who play bass and they all say it's the easiest instrument, but i'll agree with what you say about people learningat different rates half because it's true and half to prevent conflict here. Now i'm interested in the reasoning behind the first time, but shall restrain from asking.

@crusader8 pick + bass?
-
@vampixxkitty I used pick in general terms because I didn't know if you were using a pick or fingers. I can't get fast with fingers, because I taught myself to play right-handed so that my speed could lie in my fret-hand. So where does the difficulty come from? Learn the scales, make some counter-melodies to what the guitarist writes and go nuts.
-
@renovatedkitchen yeah. You'd understand if I could explain what I don't understand but can do somehow
-
@crusader8 but we were given fingers to play the bass. No need for a pick. Then it's too harsh and you can't do any effects
-
@renovatedkitchen can't do effects on bass with pick, you say? Ha. Also, we have fingers to fing, long before we made bass guitars.
