Hi folks, i hope i explain the following right...........i took up learning the bass now bout three,four years ago, and along the way i learned some theory like modes etc, i cant read music but i find im fairly good at learning songs that i play by the tabs. i'm also now equally at home playing with my fingers as well as the plectrum, what i want to ask is .........is their an abc of what i should learn theory wise, their seems to be so much there to learn etc, what would be the most important stuff to learn as a bass player? I'm now getting to play with other musicians, albeit only once so far but it went well, and one more question.........if i guitarist says to me his playing a tune in G, would i be right in saying the bass riff root note would be in G?
Thanks for any advice you can give me.
