He's right. Although slapping is a very nice skill to master, and shows that you are a good bassist, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are not a good bassist if you cant slap. Even bassists that slap can be bad bassists, what matters is how you make use of the sound you produce. Whether it be...

The "After one hour of use" part was each day. Didn't really find it boring until I had nothing else to play. Thanks to scrunks by the way.

Okay, I just got better at slap/pop-bass. Before I learned how to do it though, I found the bass pretty boring after one hour of use, since most of what I know is on acoustic guitar, not bass. Anyway, when I learned how to slap and pop with my bass, the feeling of playing bass was almost like...

Thank you Stumbo, for the link. :D I think it will help a lot :hyper: Playing with like minded people isn' really an option for now. But I know this amazing drummer, we've been planning to make a jamming band but can't find a "Jazz" guitarist. All we ever find is screamo, so all we can play is...

I didn't say I wanted to be in it. That band is like one of the 2 choices I have. Either Screamo, or Paramore. I can't even choose, but I kind of dislike Screamo. But the "Paramore" band doesn't really know enough yet. Either join, or not. Though I do know one very good drummer and...

Thanks Guys. Though all of the musicians I know are either a little below my level, or far too good for me xD I guess I should join one already. :D :hyper:

What happens if they refuse the basics? O:

I can't really say I favorite a style, but the First Style I really liked was Progressive. I always tried John Myung's stuff :D

Okay, I just want some advice :D I'm not sure if I want to join a band yet, since 2 of the bands that I know told me that they're good and they want me to join their. I played with one, all they knew was Canon Rock, a little metal songs (Like Escape The Fate).:help: We played with our teacher...

Root Notes are the reason I can come up with real good basslines :P Play Roots if you want to stay safe, and when a really good bassline pops up in your mind while jamming, and it fits perfectly with what you're playing, go for it. :D

Hey guys, I just want to know if the bassist in this band (THe real band, not the anime one) Is good. I personally like it, but not sure everyone else would. The bass starts at: 2:32 The original song was by The Beatles by the way.

Personally I can't stand 3 minute songs. I always listen to anything over 5min

I don't really know, I preferplaying music byear though, since i can make some stuff sound better. You would probably need to know about intervals. Im not sure if I haveperfect pitch because I don't memorize the name of each note :P Intervals and Scales are very important

He has to practice everyday until his fingertips get a little sore, and then after that let him shake his hands to get a little more blood in them. At least thats what I do.Im also 14 :D

I live in the Philippines. Only the "Poser Emos", "Emos", and drummers here listen to metal/screamo. I prefer Screamo over the next songs or bands i say.. The rest of the Youth.. ehh... The only rock songs they know are sweet child o' mine and cannon rock. But most of the "Youth" listen to...
