I can also recommend YouTube tutorials.

I started playing the guitar with Rocksmith as it's great for picking up an instrument. I recommend using a book at the same time and looking up chords etc. on YouTube. I now usually use Guitar Pro to pick up new, easy songs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516168/5426377.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516168/5426377.page GMT Programs for learning to play a Bass Guitar

Thanks for the suggestions. I used to play piano so I'm not too experienced with string instruments. Maybe I'll give Rocksmith a go just to get a feel for the instrument.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516168/5426384.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516168/5426384.page GMT Re:Programs for learning to play a Bass Guitar ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516168/5426408.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516168/5426408.page GMT Re:Programs for learning to play a Bass Guitar http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/

The best program I can think of is called "friends don't let friends learn bass", and it teaches all the important things, like how expert bass players should learn to play either lead or rhythm guitar, or else learn to sing or write so that they too can be a contributing member of the band.

On topic. Its always worth paying for a teacher, they can spot your weak areas and help improve them. That said the basics can be self taught easy enough. If you can read music already then great, if not there is plenty of tab out there.

I just got myself a bone, I wish I had some idea where to start. Gonna have to be lessons for me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516168/5427346.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516168/5427346.page GMT Programs for learning to play a Bass Guitar

How many bass guitarists does it take to change a light bulb?

5.

1 to change the bulb and the other 4 to hold the lead guitarist out of the spolight.

Bass is the king of instruments.
Can't play slap on a guitar.

Bass 1 - Guitar 0

@OP. If you want to do it, get lessons. It's the best way to get the most out of the guitar.

all scores are decided by the predakhaine method of comp scoring, where I decide that guitars aren't as good as bass.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516168/5428234.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516168/5428234.page GMT Programs for learning to play a Bass Guitar

Yep, you're talking bollocks for a change. Guitarists are by far the easiest instrumentalists to find. Seriously, you are ridiculously, laughably, hilariously wrong. You are made of incorrect.

Really? I can. In fact, I can play slap on both bass and guitar.


Not at the same time, obviously.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516168/5429762.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516168/5429762.page GMT Re:Programs for learning to play a Bass Guitar http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516168/5430628.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516168/5430628.page GMT Re:Programs for learning to play a Bass Guitar certain posters have said, bass is its own thing. It's a skill-set of its own. People who believe otherwise are just crappy musicians. Take it from me - I play bass, drums (+ other percussion instruments), guitar, keys, I am a classically trained vocalist, plus I have a degree in music, have had management and recording contracts, and have been performing various roles within bands for 16 years. Anyone who tells you that bass is just for people who can't cut it on 6-string is joking, or a joke.

Be warned though, it takes years to get good on the bass. The learning curve is much more gradual than say, kit. Groove is an elusive, almost mythical thing, and as a bassist you will need it in abundance. Start smoking pot.

Favourite Lemmy Anecdote. Cos Lemmy is awesome.
Spoiler:

Sid Vicious tried to have lessons from Lemmy. Lemmy said he was unteachable. A couple of weeks later, Sid phoned Lemmy and said he was in the sex pistols...thats explains a fair amount...

Bass is great fun

Good bass players are hard to find - rhythm guitarists are everywhere, good lead guitarists are hard to find, good drummers are like rocking horse
Good singer/songwriters are almost the holy grail.


But I've just learnt you can play slap on a guitar (I don't do more than 4 strings - even 5 is too complicated) so I'm still learning ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516168/5432480.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516168/5432480.page GMT Programs for learning to play a Bass Guitar ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516168/5432555.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/516168/5432555.page GMT Programs for learning to play a Bass Guitar lol - the 'just enough accoustic guitar skills for oasis' brigade.

Not a big enough deal to get invited back onto the tour. Bonham was dead. What was JPJ's excuse? (answer: Because 3 mil splits bigger 2 ways, and JPJ played bass)
