Woodruff Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 [size=3]Hi there, I'm Woodruff (29,m), from Leeds. Im into indie music and always go to gigs. I have always wanted to learn the bass and the time has now come. Im serious about learning the bass as I have purchased a indigo blue Ibenz and a Orange crush bass amp. I have tried to learn by reading books but i need the tutorial to learn more and to tutor as to where im going wrong (thats if i am!). I will be greately appreciated if some contact would point me in the right direction me to a good tutor. If you are reading this and can help a BIG THANKYOU to u all.[/size] Quote

paul, the Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Hi Woodruff. I think an Indie bassist could get by going straight into a band. Just learn the fretboard and stay with the rhythm player. I'll find a good BC theory link. I remember harmony central having some brilliant lessons. Welcome to the forum. Quote
MythSte Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 I always found ActiveBass.com to be very helpful in finding tips for certain types of music! Quote

Kev Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 as always, i recommend not having a tutor, as youl end up learning their style rather than developing your own, plenty of online lessons n videos to tell you if your going wrong however welcome anyways! Quote
