Playing bass is not really anything like playing guitar. Just 'cause you play guitar doesn't mean you can play bass. It's totally different, rhythm and everything.

I don't have time now, but to get started you have to know how to position your right hand, or left hand if you are a lefty like me. I can't describe it, but go on youtube; there are some really great videos, especially from the great guy named Dalton, the username is expertvilliage, but yeah he makes some good vids.

   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IxHBW0YpZwthis is a good one. Sorry, I can't play anywhere near the well....... he doesnt explain the hand position, but imitate it, its not hard once you see it. And it will probably hurt your wrist for a while. When finger plucking, only you your middle and index fingers.

Don't go anywhere near popping and slapping if you're just learning. I also would recommend that you do not use a pick, pretty much ever.


Don't have time for more now..... sorry ^^
