Hello Dan, I am 43 and a total novice lefty, just got my first bass (Ibanez SR300L) 4 string. I don't know how to read music/notation, I have no musical experience at all. I am a slow learner and will need a patient tutor. Where in Cambridgeshire are you based? I am near Hitchin in Bedfordshire. Can you help?

Many thanks for all the comments chaps, can I do all this without learning to read music or is it a must? (told you I was a total novice)! Also, is it a hinderence to be a lefty when going to a tutor? Is everything back to front so to speak? I am pretty impatient... I guess I'll have to learn a lot of patience! Can anyone recommend a particular tutor in the Bedfordshire/Herts/Cambs area? Thanks for all the help so far

Hello.. I'm Jeff, 43 years old (never too old to learn I was told)! Ive just bought my first bass (Ibanez SR300L 4 string). I'm a lefty, total novice but very keen to put in the graft to learn... Problem is where do I start?! There as so many books, DVDs etc but what should my first step be? I don't want to get into bad habits so i thought I'd pick the brains of you fine people ) I live in Bedfordshire if anyone could recommend a good patient tutor who has the skills to teach a slow learner like me! Any advice appreciated ) Thanks in advance.
