I'm in a tight financial spot at the moment. I'm running short on money looking for a new job, but I have a few leads going. I'm just wondering who else has had to sell some gear for more important things like bills and groceries. I most likely won't need to sell it, but I'm sure someone out...

When I try it really slowly and focus, I can kinda fix the issue and not have my middle finger move much. I figure it's like starting from the very bottom, do that a lot and eventually get good at it then everything will be ok. But if not then you are right, and I'll probably always be a pick...

Last year around the 4th of July, I went jetskiing with my cousins for a few hours. When I returned, my right hand was so tense from holding the throttle for so long I could hardly move it without it aching. I spent weeks stretching it out every morning, and every few hours at work. But to no...

I know there are some other threads on here about this, but all I've read so far start off on topic then drift into other things. I'm talking about sweep picking like on a guitar, only doing it on bass. I've been practicing it for a little while but I get caught up during certain parts of it...

Got the time by anthrax is fun (it's a cover) It can help maintain picking speed whilst singing, and there's a little bass solo in in too so it's double fun :) youd probably like it if you like metallic

Amazing how unhelpful people can be isn't it. You can get thousands and thousands of posts about fender in 5 minutes, but when it comes to something about there you might as well be the only person on earth. This is why I'm stuck, there's nothing out there about this.

I'm trying to learn advanced techniques like sweep picking, tapping and picking speed. I'm trying to learn tapping with 7 fingers, 4 left hand and index middle and ring on the right. Problem is I have absolutely no clue where to start with something like this other than building up finger...

Being as old as this post is now I'm assuming you've tried this, and have practiced it enough to hopefully make it work. I practice tapping with my fingers trying to get fast trills and all that fun stuff but its too slow, and when I try the pick tapping it just sounds horrible, the tap sounds...

At my college I'm going to be playing in our schools jazz ensemble as part of my requisites. I'm excited for it but I'm also nervous for a couple reasons. 1. I'm not a jazz guy so I'll be out of my element, but I'm looking forward to broadened exposure. 2. My theory isn't exactly up to par...

I had to learn to play with a pick after hurting my right hand so I know how irritating it can be. You're practicing basic skills slowly so thats a good start. When you hold the pick, try holding it at a slight angle so it isn't parallel to the string, this way it slides over It instead of...

I did a search on this and I didn't find anything on tb about this specifically, lots of tapping in general but nothing about pick tapping. If I missed something, please forgive my foolishness and link the thread. So pick tapping, just like tapping except instead of using your fingers you tap...

Lol yeah get her to play guitar. I offered to play for her and she said no. Oh well her loss. She's seriously crazy, I just met her on Monday, and I guess I wasn't boyfriend material in 2 days So now she has a new guy who she 'loves' so pretty crazy.

To anyone who reads this, thanks ! I don't have any questions about bass or anything related to it, I guess a positive update. In the fall and winter this past year, I was really depressed. I thought of killing myself plenty of times. I lost all motivation in life. I hardly played or practiced...

I did a quick search and didn't see anything about this exact topic, but if I missed one please link it. Anyway, I'm taking music courses in college and I'll have to play in the jazz ensemble. Its a community college so it won't be some perfectionist over the top music course, but I'm wondering...

I am active I joined a gym. Thanks but my question wasn't how to beat depression it was how to get remotivated for bass specifically
