I'm a great believer in lessons if you can find a good teacher and have the time. Frankly, I think taking lessons saves you time in the end because you can learn more efficiently. At least that's what works best for me. Plus it's great having the time to sit with another player and spend time with someone who knows the music, the instrument, and techniques well.
And in the near future our own David Hodge will have a book about learning bass on the market. Keep an eye out for it!

Bass lessons by audio correspondence may be a good option if you can't fit face-to-face lessons into your schedule. I am one of the few people in the world that do correspondence lessons. Please check out my website for info: http://www.creativebass.com

Well, my interest in learning how to play bass has reached its pinnacle. To be quite frank, I have no idea where to begin. I do own an electric bass (Ibanez) that I received for free. It's practically new. I just moved out and took it with me with aspirations to learn. Anyway, I'm coming here to get some advice and a few pointers from experienced players.

So, where do I start? I considered taking lessons, but with my schedule, it wouldn't be possible. And I don't have any friends (at least locally) that are willing or knowledgeable to teach me. Are there any suggestions?]]> Bass Players Discussion brainchild https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/wanting-to-learn-suggestions-advice/#post-15202
