max363 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Oi there guys, So my 11 y/o sister asked me to teach her play bass, which is simply awesome. However, as i myself am rather greenish player, and got completely no experience teaching I'd like to ask for tips. I tough her some very simple tunes(happy bday, Mexican hat dance), I know that I have to teach her at least basic theory, technique, but got completely no idea how to approach that. Thanks for help in advance, Maksim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Foxen Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 If the thumb slips over the top of the fretboard, hit it with a stick. Make them listen to Jaco Pastorius until they 'get it'. Make them get an evening job, because its never too early for GAS. Ensure one of their friends is learning drums. Make sure they can hum the lines before they play them.
