    Double Bass Tendinitis?

    Continue to wear the brace like you've been doing and hopefully the doctor will be able to recommend some exercises that you can do to strengthen your forearm. I also think that wearing the brace at night would be a good idea, but you could probably take it off for a little while during the day...

    All she wants to do is dance-Don Henley

    I believe the notes are D, low G, B, and C. Just repeat the pattern. You'll get the hang of the fingering pretty quick. It's a fun, easy song to play :)

    Index or Middle Finger?

    I also start with my middle finger and then alternate. I've never really thought about it before, I just start playing. I prefer to use a pick, but on the rare occasion when I use my fingers, I usually tend to start with my middle finger.

    Who plays acoustic bass guitar?

    I have a four string Ibanez AEB10 and I absolutely love it! I play it at church for the praise team and I plug into a box that is hooked into the PA system. I love it because you don't have to worry about messing around with a cord and an amp every time you want to play it, it has a nice, loud...

    Another newbie, and I'm a drummer too...

    Well, I'm somewhat new also (I've only been playing for about 6 months). The only thing I can say is that books can be really helpful, but really boring. If you can't read music, like me, then tab is the way to go. Learning scales is important and don't give up. Playing the bass has given me so...

    Headbanger Songs

    How about Quiet Riot's "Bang your head"? Head banging is implied in the title...

    What song would you play?

    I would say basically anything by Rush (If you guys can handle it) AC/DC hasn't been mentioned yet, and also any Led Zeppelin would be considered "epic". If any of the bands at my school played these, it would be amazing!

    Fifteen Year Old Girl, Teaching Herself Bass. Got Some Questions

    I'm also teaching myself to play. I have a friend who plays bass for the band at our school and he helps me a lot, so if you know anybody else that plays, they can be a great resource! If you can't read music, like me, then reading tab can be really useful. All I can say is don't give up because...

    Beginner Lady Bass Player from Texas

    That is actually why I started playing as well! What a coincidence! I'm glad I'm not the only one who has done that! And, yes you should definitely join the girl bass player club!

    "Girl Bass Player Club" here!

    I think having a club of our own is an awesome idea! I've had people look at me funny because I'm a girl and I play the bass, but I've also had people tell me that they think it's great that there are females who love this instrument just as much, if not more, than some men. I just recently...
