    Instead of criticizing, educate her. In a relationship it's not about what you disagree on, it's what you agree on.

    Hit a wall with 3/4 time

    Thanks for the advice, I'm not giving up. To be honest I wish the play alongs were longer because 45 seconds is not enough time to learn a new concept and is not enough practice for the exercise. I am constantly restarting. My difficulty isn't because I don't grasp the concept, it's painfully...

    Hit a wall with 3/4 time

    I'm really having a problem now that I've hit 3/4 time in Hal Leonard Bass Method. I don't know why this is such an issue for me, perhaps it's because all the music I ever listen to is 4/4. I'm counting while playing and it helps but eventually I become all thumbs in the middle of the...

    Bass strap for a boney guy

    I'm a boney guy 6'2ish 150 lbs and my strap is digging into my shoulder on my clavicle. I just got a 3" strap and it's better but still noticeable. My bass is 9.8 lbs and I don't have much shoulder for a wider strap. I wasn't sure where to place this being I'm a noob so here it is. I did...

    Self teaching with slight mentoring

    Well this weekend I picked up a used ampeg micro vr amp and cab and it beats the crap out of my 15 watt ibanez amp. I also got a copy of Hal Leonard Bass Method and it is a very good book! I was using Bass Guitar for Dummies and it is a nice manual but I think the Bass Method is better. I'm...

    Self teaching with slight mentoring

    I'm looking into babysitting so that I can take instruction. I think I can work it out if I can get a flexible teacher that will understand if I have to work on a Saturday. I have been practicing with head phones on and I can hear what I play much better this way.

    Can you buy a used one then sell it back to the store before going home? It could be comparative to rental in cost.

    Self teaching with slight mentoring

    I'll take all the advice to heart. As for an instructor, that can't happen for a few years. I work nights and my wife works weekends so I have my four year old on the only time I would be able to take lessons. BTW, the buzzing isn't coming through the amp, just it's loud on the fretboard.

    Self teaching with slight mentoring

    I am learning bass mostly solo with some slight mentoring by a friend that plays bass. I have no musical background. My main issue I'm having with is buzzing and coordination with my pinky and ring fingers. I'm practicing the major and minor triad in C to work on this. Does this sound...
