Learning How To Play Bass Guitar - 5 Simple Steps

1. Know your bass! Before you start to learn anything get to know your instrument. How it feels, how to hold it, it doesn’t matter if you can’t play anything yet.

2. Don’t try and run before you can walk. There are bass guitars out there with different amounts of strings. For a beginner start off with a four stringed bass guitar and move onto something more complicated later.

3. Every Adult Dog Grows. This is an easy way to remember the order of the strings from the thickest string to the thinnest or lowest to highest.

4. When playing bass guitar with a pick remember to use a bass guitar pick not a guitar pick as these are too thin and break easily on a bass guitar.

5. Get some tuition. Bass guitar lessons are a great way to help you progress. A good teacher will be able to show you how a bass guitar should be played (as well as if you’re playing it right). There are also a variety of online lessons on the net that can help.
