First Lesson on Sunday

Hi All,

So I'm starting my first lesson on Sunday. I have kinda been goofing around with the bass for a couple of months on and off, and I just want to play cool tunes. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I should ask from my instructor? What I should tell him to focus on. No particular attachement to any particular musical genre, open to all.

Thanks. :bassist:
 
Chances are that you won't have to tell him what to focus on.

He'll assess your needs. There's certain things that you're going to have to learn/know to become a solid player.

Your choices will probably be limited to choosing songs you want to learn.
