Thanks again for the advice, I hadn't even thought about the possibility of physical damage from over playing.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I already play fiddle and have been wanting to start learning bass for awhile. I will probably find a teacher eventually but hay season is getting started and I never know if I'll be able to keep a lesson appointment or not.

Okay. It looked like that website in the link was more geared toward bass guitar.

Thanks for the link. Do upright and bass guitar methods interchange?

Howdy all, I just bought my first bass. I want to try learning on my own so I picked up a copy of the mark schatz beginner bluegrass bass DVD. Are there any other books/DVDs I should look for. I just found the forum and it looks like I'll be busy reading for a few days. Assume I know nothing...
