basss

The first bass I bought was an Ibanez RDGR. When I bought it I wasn't thinking about the bridge. Turns out I can't figure out where to put the string now while stringing it, except hooking it under the saddle, which is likely just to break the saddle. Any help?

Thanks. I was surprised how much it helps to number your fingers, I am progressing quickly now thanks to this tip.

Hello, I was trying to use 3 and 4 fingers in my right hand to pluck and was wondering, which way is the most effective way to play? Pinky, ring, middle, index or the other way round? Also, have you got any exercises to help me coordinate this with my left hand across strings?

thanks that was very helpful. more help in a couple of sentences than i've ever gotten in lessons, which is part of the reason why i stopped doing them. It seems to me that a teacher who wants to share information is very rare. my previous ones' response to any questions i had was simply "do whatever feels comfortable".

Thanks for the tip. The thing I'm really looking for is something to boost my playing because i feel that i'm not learning anything anymore, my playing's not getting faster no matter what I try (and it's not very fast to begin with), and i don't find myself improving no matter how long i spend on the instruments.I practice a lot but it seems to have no effect. Any help?!

Hi everyone, I've been playing for a couple of years and feel I want to try and step it up a bit by playing some faster, harder stuff. Can anyone point me in the direction of some exercises and the like to build up my speed and accuracy, technique and whatnot as I think I want to get my technique to a higher level. I mainly play fingerstyle, little pick work, but I'm open to new things so whatever info you have, lets hear it! Cheers.
