Have been working thru Wheats Bassbook until they get here and practicing Riff #1 (smoke.....).

It seems I was awake during some of my daughters lead guitar lessons cause I did manage the plucking of 1&2 (G&D) on the (would you call it a two note chord) section.

The big hassle I have with the other scales etc is stretching from fret 5 to fret 8 - pinky is just a tiny bit short - I assume fingers will loosen up but is there any other 'trick' that others with the same difficulty use?

All the best

I haven't seen the Dummies book but it gets positive comments over at Talkbass, so I'd bet it's not bad at all.

Personally I think David's book plus some of the lessons on this site (Laz's box, in particular) will get you far along, especially as you begin to apply the theory and techniques in David's "jam along" improvisations.]]> Bass Players Discussion slejhamer https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/another-new-bass-plus-queries-on-davids-book/#post-226618 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/another-new-bass-plus-queries-on-davids-book/#post-226602 Sat, 03 Feb 2007 17:19:28 +0000 Bass Players Discussion Musenfreund https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/another-new-bass-plus-queries-on-davids-book/#post-226602 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/another-new-bass-plus-queries-on-davids-book/#post-226563 Sat, 03 Feb 2007 07:07:46 +0000 Bass Players Discussion Maliciant https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/another-new-bass-plus-queries-on-davids-book/#post-226563 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/another-new-bass-plus-queries-on-davids-book/#post-226552 Sat, 03 Feb 2007 04:34:09 +0000
What worked for me....putting a lot of favourite songs on WM Library. Put it on shuffle, and try and play along with whatever comes on, might not work for everybody, but it did for me....they were songs I knew well, knew the chords....or at least the tune. So I tried to play along - I might not always get it perfect, but I was always close .....

:D :D :D

1. I will get David's book regardless.

2. The question is - should I bother with the other one?

Thanks for the responses guys.

One of the first things I found was a really good tab for "Walk On The Wild Side" - tricky, but playable.....

:D :D :D
