    Bit of a crisis (for me, anyhow) here

    I took lessons for 4 years straight every week with an amazing bass player. I did a lot of material starting out that I could never understand the point in doing,but now I know why my instructor had me doing those things. I now take Skype lessons from the guy that taught him and its nothing like...

    Feeling Discouraged by a competent teacher

    I take lessons from a really good teacher and I feel overwhelmed all the time.At the time he shows me something I may not understand it at first,but once I do the material on my own it all comes together. I embrace the feeling of being overwhelmed. It makes me know I'm making progress.

    Found my dream bass..... But I can't afford it.

    Here is my p bass deluxe. took me around a year and a half to pay it off and around 6 months just to get it. Aside from my standard p bass that just seems so right. This bass gets played the most and I didn't really even like it at first.

    Advanced player wants to learn to read

    When I decided to pick up the bass at 34 my teacher started teaching me to read early on. I did a lot of learning away from the bass just going a,c,e,g in my head thinking spaces and then going g,b,d,f,a thinking lines. I learned all the notes on the fret board and started reading simple lines...
