Beginner Bass Help Me!!!!

since no one has said it yet: get a metronome and practice accurate tempo.

Yeah. Use the click at first to help you internalize the groove, and then periodically to check how well you've done that.

That's a long-term thing! What I mean is that for a beginner the click builds a sense of groove, and for the more advanced player it provides quality control on that sense.

Um...I'm aware that some folks disagree with mambo4 and me on this. But I'm inclined to do what works for me--and I ain't a n00b to bass playing.


BTW, there was a Girl Bassist thread floating around here recently. Might be of interest, by way of cameraderie and all.
