Learning to play the bass guitar

Some people may be put off with learning a new instrument or even the idea of picking an instrument up at all but I assure you this isn’t the case with this website that I have come across. The website looks like it is new but with what I have read so far I am pleased with. The lessons that are provided seem to be at no cost so there is really no reason why you shouldn’t have a look on the site.

I forgot to mention I am a bassist in a band and as I am a beginner to bass playing I find my self getting stuck with what to do next and also what to learn, but now I don’t really need to worry as the complete bass basics have been explained for me. I used to play the guitar but because our bass player in my band dropped out I had to replace him. I used to think that bass was an easy instrument. Boy was I wrong. I feel that because the frets on the bass are much bigger I find myself struggling at times to fret the strings but I am not sure why this is as of yet.

Anyway this was just a short post showing people of a new site that I have found about playing the bass guitar. I got the address from a friend but I am unsure if this website is listed in Google or not so just use the link below to get there.

Tinnitus at How To Play Bass

Hey guys I am aloud to post a little paragraph from how to play bass to teach people about tinnitus. I have gained permission to be able to post this. Having tinnitus my self I know how important it is to teach other people about the condition. People who haven't got tinnitus may be thinking whatever but I will tell you I wish I had listed when someone told me about it.

Hearing loss and Musicians

Now as a bass player or even a musician in general you should consider wearing ear plugs to protect your ears from the loud noises of gigging and even practicing because if you don't in later life or even soon you may develop tinnitus. If you wish to have a music career or have a music based life style it is essential that you understand the effect of hearing loss and what effect this has on musicians.
