Smythe Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 [attachment=126900:20120908_201636.jpg]Heres a pic of my young lad taking his first bass lesson. He's certainly got a good posture up to now anyways! That bass will also be his when he gets older (Ibanez SRX350) as it served me so well as an introductory instrument.

dave_bass5 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Shame on you starting him at the wrong end of the neck ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 On the contrary I think it make sense him being allowed to get his little jam/marmite/whatever covered little fingers on the frets that his dad will never have to use in real life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coilte Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 He has learned a lot in his first lesson. I notice he is already using the "Floating Thumb" technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 That's not floating thumb technique - He's slapping/Thumbing.... And with the Bass up around his neck like that, It's Mark King style. Cute pic. Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Mine couldn't decide what style he wanted to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelfin Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Mine had trouble deciding which neck to play [IMG]http://i970.photobucket.com/albums/ae181/gelfin5959/RBass.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_bass5 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Nah, mine soon got bored of only 4 strings Then at this point we decided he was no good at "music", so he decided to play drums instead lol He has settled down now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Mine started herself off young -there are pics of her playing my jazz bass at 18 months old, and my prosebass 5 at 2 She has a ukelele and is absolutely entranced by 12 strings but thats as close as she's going to get to the Dark Side.

bertbass Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Granddaughter Amy aged 6 playing her guitar, she started on my bass but me being left handed and my bass being 34" scale proved too much for her so she has her very own 6 string. I'm sure that I don't have to point out that it's pink! Her brother Thomas, aged 1, decided that she needed some help. This was just before he fell over not having quite mastered the art of staying vertical for long periods of time yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
