Hopeless technique ... look at the way her hair strays across the fretboard. 😂

My 2yo son absolutely loves watching her play bass. 
She is a star already, with a lot to look forward to.

Having seen various photo`s of you Jack, I just think your a bit jealous of the hair!

Nice. I wonder if my son will take up the drums, having been interested in seeing a drummer out in Leeds the other week, and seeing Nandi Bushell on Teen Titans Go.

I think kids have to just pick something up if they fancy it, I don't know anyone who has successfully "nudged" their kids into a particular instrument long term.. If there's a variety of instruments knocking around the house they'll obviously have a play with them, I think you have to let nature take its course..

There’s also an inevitability that offspring will choose something a parent does play. There seems to be a number of bass players who are sons ( & probably daughters but I can’t think of any off the top of my head) of guitar players, pianists and saxophonists. These would include Travis Carlton, Kyle Eastwood and Alec Dankworth to name but a few.

As her fingers are a little small it's probably a way of damping the E and A strings.

She's great! I love the enthusiasm. It's nice to have parents with a studio and instruments laying around. My Dad sang, but he picked up a Roberts reel-to reel (with Sound-On-Sound!) that he recorded his choral groups with, and I had that to screw around with. When I asked for a guitar, I got one. BUT YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE LESSONS. "OK."

When I decided I wanted to play bass (heehee), we traded in the guitar, and I got a bass. BUT YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE LESSONS.

I have my parents to thank for a lifetime of enjoyment.
