Watty Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I am the most unmusical person you could ever wish to meet, but am giving the bass another go after a 30 year lay-off and must say that internet lessons from the likes of BassBuzz & Talking Bass are really suiting me. I never got on with a one-to-one tutor so let’s see how it goes. I was pointed this way by another member who has a bass for sale that I’ll now hopefully buy. cheers.

Richard R Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Welcome aboar😁d! I usually recommend StudyBass.com as an excellent starting place. It's free, and it covers the essentials and basics very well - like how to hold a bass, how to play and practice and avoid injuries, and has a really good setup guide. Some people find it a bit dry, but it's always accurate. The other site to check out is scottsbasslessons.com. Scott is a bit marmite, especially the free videos, but the academy stuff is really good. Cost is around $90 per year, or three face-to-face lessons. Face to face, if you find a tutor you get on with, are by far the best in my experience. If nothing else, I found the very fact that I was paying for the time made me practice in between time to get the benefit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
