My 8 year old daughter has started taking interset in my bass playing and wants to start learning.
I think this is great and really want to teach her I'm not sure where to start.
I have a spare bass which makes thing easier but where do we begin?
Should we start with scales, simple songs or........?
Any advice guys?

Find out which band/song helped her to decide to pick it up, then teach her those lines (you'll probably have to simplify some stuff if she's into Primus though :) ), younger players (in my experience) really benefit from 'instant' results. Cheers, Paul.

Jam with her for a while. Initial interest is very delicate, esp among kids. Reinforce that with support and company and she'll hold on to it for life. And once she shows consistency get her a teacher. Like in a few weeks. Get one now and might scare off.

I tried teaching my kid brother 5 years ago. He ran away. :)
Kids hate to practice, but they love to play. :)

Yeah that and what these guys up here said.
