Hi everyone, I decided to upload some very short videos of myself playing bass. I am very new (just a month) and want to see what you all think. The first video is day 1 of practicing 'Come as You Are' by Nirvana: https://youtube.com/shorts/5Wj-5oQixQk?feature=share Second video is my first...

@AGCurry I did not notice, sorry about that! My mistake. Thank you for your explanation! I appreciate the clarity and going over your routine as well. @Stuart.C Yup! That's exactly what I wanted to do. Thank you that was super helpful, I'm going to try this out. :)

@AGCurry Thank you! This is what I am trying to do as I think of ways to keep improving. Do you mind giving me a rundown on what your practice routine generally is? At the moment I do the following, 1. Fingerboard exercises to better develop dexterity and speed. What I do at the moment is...

Thank you! I will keep practicing so that I develop a better ear for it and the necessary skills.

Ahh okay. Yeah I’ve been practicing bass lines, playing scales with a metronome, etc. but I wanted to create my own melody to something I like and make it sound nice. Thanks for your assistance!

Yes, that's correct, I want to play the melody by ear. Sorry I tried to explain it in the best way I could ha. I'd like to get a teacher, but my only option right now is to study online :) I'd like too eventually though! I'll practice in the way you said and develop further knowledge of the...

Hello, I hope everyone is doing well. I had a question if you all don't mind, and this section of the forum looked to be the best fit. I've been playing the bass for a month and have recently been interested in just putting on a song and playing along to it on my own trying to figure it out...

Nice! Loved it:)

Hello, I wasn't able to check this thread until now, thank you very much for the responses. @Malcolm35 Awesome! Thanks so much. I'll look over this and give it a shot. I do want to join a band and just jam with some people, but I feel a little nervous about this. I feel like it might be a...

Hello, My apologies if this is not the area to post this but 'Technique' seemed the most relevant as I feel like it will help others who have either recently started to play or are thinking of getting into the bass guitar. This will be a long post so apologies in advance. It has been a little...

I purchased a string cleaner/lubricant as someone suggested and it feels much better to play. My fingers don't get stuck, and the difference is massive. Super informative, thank you!

That's really cool that meditating before playing worked for you. I'll give that a try and see what impact it has on my breathing and general feeling afterwards.

Hi everyone, Thank you for the ongoing comments and support, it means a lot! I just wanted to give a progress report. I've been practicing my plucking using a metronome today. I took the advice of recording myself while doing this and paying attention to differences in tone/volume as I pluck to...

Hey everyone, Came back to another load of great advice. Thank you for the time you all took in advising me. I read each one, took notes, and can't wait to attempt it some more tomorrow (I've been playing for the last few hours, not the song but taking my online lessons). I also purchased a...

Oh wow, so many great replies. I will respond to each :) Thanks everyone! @gebass6 That was a great read. Love the wealth of knowledge in this community. @micguy I make sure to practice with a metronome daily and Guitar Pro let's me slow down songs and have a beat counter so super helpful. I...
