new to base
 

hello bass members i am new to the bass and having no experience at all other then playing a few songs like black sabbath eg. wolfmother (band) and others i learned the basics but not much of anything else i was wondering if u guys can suggest things to listen to for learning how to make of own bass rifts to some songs that i wrote lyrics to other then following my friend on guitar. :confused:

First things first. What styles are these songs?

i like to play anything like black sabbath. eg. wolfmother and others. i was wondering where else to go i wish i could write my own rifts to my friends music and i was wondering where to learn how to play something that would tie the song all together :beer:

What I meant was... what styles are the songs you or him wrote?

Watch Dmanlamius's youtube videos.

Use online lessons such as http://www.play-bass.com Google phrases like free bass lessons, take lessons and look on youtube. you will be a master in no time.

Less than a year you posted that and the site has fuckin' 404's.

Maybe it's a bot?

Modest Mouse would be a good place to start.

bassmasta is gone theres bass-haven now and bass genral and this site :behead:

Here's some advice that any new instrumentalist should take, and disturbingly, few do:

Learn how to read music.

I think first one should learn how to spell the instrument they are trying to learn.

LOL :rofl:

Same here I'm new when it comes to bass. I'm a vocalist though.

im working on scales and therory a bit, just changed bands though so were playing diffrent style of music , a bit faster and heavier , but its not a prob.
still keep up with my finger style (sounds all kung fu lol )
