i have absolutely no idea weather i put my first finger on 11 and 3rd on 13 or 2nd or what.

Is there something i can know and use as a rule of where to put my fingers?

Also for regular music how do you know whether to put your 1st or 2nd finger 3rd or 4th on the 10 in an example like this. My bass teacher told me whatver feels easiest but im still not sure

G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|----14---10---------------12---------------10--------|
A|--0----0------12-10-12-10----10-8---10-(12)----12-10-|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

thanks for your help
