I realy enjoyed this FOTW , I do know nothing a bout the bass, okay playing a root I finding a sort of logic and 'm glad to know a bout the fifth , also interesting for study the fretboard.Sandy - I'm sure you'll have a lot more fun now that you've got a practice amp. I'm a little envious.
Willem - I love playing the bass. It absolutely makes me smile. I've primarily been playing roots, and fifths and a few passing notes. Put some rhythm into it and it's HEAPS of fun. I know I have A LOT to learn about playing the bass, but you don't need to get fancy to be adding heaps to what others are playing.
Sandy - make Willem jealous with the fun you're having. as in keep telling us about it.
Willem I think the bass guitar is mostly emphasizing the bass notes, I went to a concert last night and saw Booker T an the MG's, a band with lots of longevity. I watched the bass player all night and he did play notes other than bass notes sometimes, and he did do lots of rhythm. I didn't see him use his right thumb, just his fingers, just as Neil said on the FOTW lesson. He played all up and down the fretboard. It was very cool. It's like everything else, it just takes time to learn it and you have to start out with the basics, which means you probably need to concentrate on the bass notes at first.michelew wrote:I realy enjoyed this FOTW , I do know nothing a bout the bass, okay playing a root I finding a sort of logic and 'm glad to know a bout the fifth , also interesting for study the fretboard.Sandy - I'm sure you'll have a lot more fun now that you've got a practice amp.

'Cos I know the bass notes are very important in music I wanna know a bit and hope for more information.
I don't have a bass guitar, if I want to have one it is a electric,, man those acoustic ones are to heavy on the strings.
