hairyhatman Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Welcome to BC. You've come to the right place if you are starting out. Lots of diamond geezers and geezerettes to help you on your journey. The thing I love about bass is that you can get great enjoyment from it without having to be an accomplished instrumentalist. I've been playing for 20 years and I'm a stunningly average player. I love just playing around three root notes and concentrating on getting the groove right. Suggest you get your funk CDs out and go for it (fewest chord changes of any music I can think of). Keep the faith! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
