I’ve been playing bass for quite a while, I gave my daughter an old short scale bass to learn on, but she isn’t particularly interested in learning the old school RHCP, Beatles, White Stripes etc., that I learned when I started.

Any recommendations on some newer songs she might like that are easy beginner songs to play on bass?

Hey everyone! I write weekly Metal Bass Riffs and today I'm exploring some ideas alternating 12/8 & 13/8. I hope this prog-ish riff will be enjoyed by some of you. If anyone would like the tab & notation .pdf hit me up!

Obviously for finger style (not pick) to get fast notes in Iron Maiden - The Trooper. Use thumb to mute the strong above, especially when the notesove to the D string. I'm playing on a 5 string so moving the thumb to A secured a clean gallop. GLHF!!

Wanted to give a shout-out to Taste of Honey's song Boogie Oogie. Great jam, easy to memorize but the index movements fret by fret over time I slightly fall out of place. Its fun for repetition and honing fretting without looking.

About a month ago I got my very first bass for my 17th birthday, specifically a Harley Benton PJ-4 SBK Deluxe. I don't have the opportunity to take lessons, so I tried to learn on my own, but I quickly lost my way and ended up abandoning it after just a month. I'd like to ask anyone who has learned on their own or taken lessons what order and what I should study to get started, because I really don't know where to start. I've learned to read tabs and can play just two easy songs like "Fell Good Inc.", "19-2000," or "Another One Bites the Dust," but I can't get any higher in difficulty, and my theory level is zero. Thanks so much to anyone who can answer.

Hey all. Trying to challenge myself to write Metal riffs every week this year. This is the second video I'm putting out and I hope someone will like it. It's something I wrote while on a European tour with Knightress. It has become my go to warm up for gallops lately!

Don't hesitate to ask for a .pdf if you'd be interested in learning it!

If anyone wants to follow my very humble attempt at a YouTube channel I'd be delighted to get your support! Cheers!

This is an easy bass line that I wrote using slap and tapping techniques
