so I was about to give a total beginner[b] [i]James [/i][/b]his first lesson on bass.
A very nerdy weak and weedy looking kid, I wasn't sure he could even get those small hands to reach any of the strings.
So....
[b]lesson one[/b]: I taught him the E string, just up to the 3rd fret.
open = E
1st fret = F
2nd fret = F# or Gb ( my my, that took at lot of explaining)
3rd Fret = G

come back in two days for the next lesson...........

[b]Lesson two[/b]
ok... the A string
open = A
1st fret = A# or Bb ( here we go again)
2nd fret = B
3rd Fret = C

come back in two days for the next lesson...........

[b]lesson three[/b]
ok... the D string
open = D
1st fret = D# or Eb ( ah,.got it!)
2nd fret = E
3rd Fret = F

come back in two days for the next lesson...........

2 days later no James
no call, no contact...

getting worried now....hope he's ok....sick maybe...lost ...kidnapped....???

3 weeks later he shows up...looking terrible...wasted...older...less nerdy

"where have you been?"

"oh sorry I didn't get in touch, I've been on tour"
