    Having Trouble Strumming Quickly

    Ya know, I played with those on a friend's bass recently. I liked em, I may pick some up. I'd still like to use up these strings first (they're fairly new) and they'll help me callous the fingers. The tip of my arm is pretty tender

    Having Trouble Strumming Quickly

    I should be able to upload a video later on, gunna be jamming with a buddy later. The arm is, in fact, able to rotate, even slightly more than most (legit, I can lick my elbow). Also, those are fingers. Or the formation of them. I use the smallest one (the pinky) to gain leverage against the...

    Having Trouble Strumming Quickly

    It's the left that's missing, I use a lefty setup. And honestly, I've tried with hammer-ons, my friends ask me why I don't try it that way, I just happen to be comfortable using it to strum in most scenarios. It helps with muting, rests, and ghosts. I'm stubborn like that :) I was born this...

    Drop D favorites

    I will definitely be looking all these tabs up later, for sure. I'm a big Nirvana fan. I'll have to lookup how to tune correctly for most of their music

    Drop D favorites

    Hey everyone. New here, was just wondering what everyone's take on Drop D was. My friend taught me Outshined-Soundgarden and I loved the sound. List your favorite Drop D songs, and if you don't mind, maybe point out a few easier ones for beginner bassists like myself!

    One Armed Bandit bringing the thunder

    What's up guys? I just joined here today and figured I'd give a quick introduction. My name is Tim, I'm 23 years old, and I was born missing my left hand (exactly Bill Clements style, opposite hand). I used to play the drums and have since traded my kit for an older series Danelectro, and I...
