If it ends up just not being my thing I don't want to be out much money and if I love it I'll buy a nicer one down the road. After doing some research I came up...

    How do I keep my fingers down?

    I've been playing bass with instruction for about 8 months. My technique is pretty good except that I can't seem to keep all of my fingers down on the strings while I'm playing.

    What's next after Hal Leanord Bass Method 1-3

    I started playing the bass about a year ago just playing songs on the radio and so forth. Then I decided that I wanted to learn the right way. I got some help from my dad who used to play some and my technique is pretty good. I brought the Hal Leonard Complete Bass method with cd's and I'm...
