as Marge Simpson says, the teacher only needs to be one class ahead of the student. jokes apart, a strong fundation in harmony seems to me a must. a deep understanding of ergonomy and postural health to avoid injuries should be important also. reading is not a skill a teacher should master, but be able to read and to explain a score is. in the personal aspect, be patient, a good listener, good organized (and by that I mean to write down all the homework you assign to your students), think ahead and plan what are you going to teach next to make him/her a better player.

Beginner Bassist Looking for Advice on Right-Hand Technique
bassalbert replied to AhlyxMU's topic in Theory and Technique
if you rest your forearm on the body, most likely you have your wrist in a 90º angle or near, which compress all your tendons which can cause tendinitis and carpal tunnel syndromme in the long term or in short term sometimes. so best advice, start with a good teacher -
I've had to play it too and always went to the three finger technique, never used in another tune, but I think it's the way to do it without stressing your hand

here it is the weekend transcription. this is number 300 Leland's basslines I have done, can you believe it? . a milestone in a path I am enjoying and learning in every step. don't be frightened by three pages, there is a lot of repetition and not hard to read. video: https://youtu.be/fM_MaUwDam0 score: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pu4U4LJ4hrikXyXo9OGAIXcmSmRwxRts/view?usp=drive_link

With this tune I am finally up to date. this is the last one remaing to publish. a Rita Coolidge's song: I'LL BE YOUR BABY TONIGHT. a quite simple song but with some interesting fills like the one in bar 81. very good to practice reading shuffle VIDEO: https://youtu.be/L8xEj0UCNBY SCORE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VmhuTeeJ2WEVogh1mudVlF__V9bcceJY/view?usp=drive_link

Today we have a novelty and that is that Lee plays twice the same song in the same video. The first time he missed a couple of spots and I guess that would take his dream away so he repeated the take. The song is one from Carole King that he played a long ago and in these two versions he changes the bass line quite a lot from the first one. the song is ONLY LOVE IS REAL and you can find here the two transcriptions.
