Shonks Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 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" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
