How to Learn Bass Guitar
The best hobbies are those that take a good amount of your time without requiring you to spend as much. They’re enjoyable but affordable, and learning how to play the bass guitar can be that kind of hobby with the tips below.
Buy a secondhand guitar.
Search for websites like eBay and Amazon for secondhand guitars. A lot of buyers agree to meet-ups so that you can personally test the item, assess its condition, and determine whether or not its performance suits your tastes.
Learn online.
Although having a music tutor is always a great thing, you don’t have to start out with one if you can’t afford it.
To begin with, there are many free online courses that are designed to effectively teach self-studying individuals about basic principles for playing bass guitar. They offer step-by-step instructions, audio samples, and charts and diagrams as well as practice exercises and tests to help you master a particular technique or method.
Join guitar clubs and communities.
You’ll feel more motivated to learn and practice playing your bass guitar when you have other people to talk to, people who share your interests and are willing to give you the encouragement and support you need.
Social networking websites are a good place to start searching for these communities. Use the website’s internal search engine to look for guitar groups. Check out blogging communities as well. Blogs of aspiring and professional guitarists can be pretty good sources for tips and tricks in learning to play the bass guitar. Don’t forget to explore websites like Yahoo Groups.
Of course, don’t limit yourself to online opportunities for socializing. Check for local postings about music events in your area. Your town parish may have vacancies for guitarists in their choir. Your neighborhood may be organizing a band to join in local competitions.
Then again, you can always create your own group among your family and friends. Playing music has long proven to be one of the best ways for people to bond.
Watch the experts.
Attend concerts and other musical performances. Take advantage of any opportunity to watch a pro perform. Pay attention to how they play their bass guitar. Be inspired by their passion. Use it to motivate yourself and perhaps develop a style of your own.
If you don’t have the means to watch live performances then use video-sharing websites like YouTube to search for videos that will give you a glimpse of your future as a guitarist once you’ve mastered the basics of playing bass guitar.
