Hi.
Just started playing a couple of weeks back. I found a couple of beginner bass courses online like Scotts Bass lessons and another one - they seem pretty good - BUT, as the songs/style of music I like is finger and plectrum style I would also like to try and use a pick (I want to be able to give an easy Rancid song a go, for example).
Does anyone have any recommendations for online beginners courses for 'pick playing'?
Or failing that. What are some good isolated lessons/exercises?
I seem to be okay with the finger style so far, but i tried using a pick for the first time yesterday and I was useless (arrgghhh). It basically just turned in my fingers and raked down the side of the strings. My fret playing hand was ok (relatively speaking), but my picking hand was all over the place, I couldn't find the strings, it was really weird, like I'd regressed back to zero. Helllpppp!
