    Same fret, different string? Left hand help!

    Thanks for the insights, guys. I'll probably end up with a hybrid style like mentioned above, playing higher fifth and octave with separate fingers and the lower fifth bridged. Otherwise, I would be fretting the root with my middle finger and that doesn't feel right at all. Of course, it all...

    Same fret, different string? Left hand help!

    Hello, I am hoping to get some insight on left hand technique when playing different strings on the same fret. Specifically, when playing, say, a C on the A string with a pickup note G on the E string. Or, when moving between the root, the fifth and the octave. Hopefully my transcriptions will...

    In Defence of Tab!

    I'm in a cover band and I can 't imagine how much harder my job would be without online tablature. I find it invaluable to Google a song and be able to play it in minutes. Mind you, there is no replacement for your ears and that squishy thing in between. I usually have the tab open for...

    Greetings!

    Hello all, Of course I'm new here, thus the introduction. I like to think (flatter?) of myself as a multi-instrumentalist; sort of a Jack of all trades, master of none I suppose. I have played acoustic guitar, bass, and drums in bands. My latest musical endeavor is playing bass in a...
