    As a bassist, the only thing different I would suggest is to begin with a metronome/click track, but don't be one yourself, that's the drummers job. Follow your drummer, even if their tempo isn't dead on. You are the glue that holds the rhythm and melody together. Feel the drums, and hear the singer/guitarists.

When my band presented me with one I kicked it out the door of the club and told them to get another drummer and quit. I was back in a week, why, I knew there was no one else would play with those old codgers but an old codger like me.

    Can't agree with this at all, most drummers I have played with couldn't keep time with a Rolex up their ass! Those that could keep time made me so much the better player. And I always get get complimented on my timing, especially by other bass players. All this being said, and playing better than ever, I am dropping the bass, with everyone I play with its all about what THEY want to play, almost NEVER about the songs I want to play, and I am very tired of this BS. The bass is the most fun instrument to play when you are good but you will ALWAYS be playing for other people, never for yourself.

    Your advice on simple Bass riffs, while in a different context here, can also apply to those who know how to play, at a novice or expert level. When I was playing Double Bass in a Rockabilly band, we did a gig at a Rockabilly Festival with a number of other bands, including some internationally famous acts like The Stray Cats. Hanging out backstage after the show, kicking back with some beers on the couches, passing a joint around, and conversing with the other bands, I had a great conversation with a REALLY good Bass player from another band. As the focus of our chat shifted to playing the solid body electric bass guitar, as what was said doesn't apply so much to the Double Bass especially when played Rockabilly style like we did in our bands, he said that one thing he commonly came across with other Bass Guitarists was a tendency to play overly complex & busy Bass lines even when it wasn't necessary or even ideal. He went on to explain in detail that as he became more proficient as a professional musician, the best expert Bass players he encountered & learned from often played & practised a philosophy that, "Sometimes, less is more." And learning to discern which style or method is most relevant & suited to the piece of music being played is the mark of a true genius, rather than someone who constantly plays complex, extroverted bass lines to show off or simply because they get carried away. Learning to hold back and play a "simple" Bass line and notes with flawless technique & tonality, can be just as difficult as mastering the fastest playing styles & techniques. I never forgot what he told me and even years later, his words often came to mind as I observed other musicians, whose playing displayed a masterful understanding of that philosophy, or obvious lack of it.

    Excellent pointers. I'm teaching my daughter and we're starting with simple lines, timing, theory, and listening to bass lines--exactly what she's saying. I'll send her your way for lessons when this guitarist runs out of pointers. I'm having her do two-finger alternate picking to a metronome just to strengthen her right hand (sort of like "Dean Town" but slower--she's just starting!). We're using Stir it Up to learn song structure (I-IV-V), Major triads, and timing...nice and simple and loaded with lessons in it. She has totally taken to the instrument and it's very gratifying to see!

When we practice music wrong, we are training our muscles wrong, and not only does this result in poor technique (poor sound) but can also injure your muscles and tendons if repeated long enough.

However, it was a huge wake up call for me. A lot like hearing Carol Kaye's work, or even McCartney. Great lesson. I still dream of playing Bass in a band, but I'm usually stuck w/ the front man guitarist role. Bass is the most cerebral instrument in a rock band where knowing what not to play is just as important as what to play. Thank's hope to see you again soon. I love your lessons! :)

    I learned at age 65 --- a guy in a band said "you play guitar, right? Here, learn bass, we need one." It was a Fender Jazz Bass -- very expensive -- so I learned obsessively and practiced incessantly and am now in a band. So yes you can do it.

    Hi, Enjoyed your tutorial. I'm a 71 year old guitarist. Played about all types of music since 12. Just recently started on bass. How do you and other players on this forum get guitar riffs and scales, etc out of you head? I realize the bass is the true backbone of any good group. My granddaughter wants me to help her with bass. I'm having a heck of a lot of fun, but seems my guitar background gets in my way at times. All recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks, Doug

    Me, Writing basslines 0)Find and consume intoxicants 1)Start off simple. No, simpler than that. 1.5) play that and marvel at it's elegance 2)try adding some flavor 3)maybe add a fill in that dead zone? 3.5) play it again and realize you suck at writing fills. 4)remove the fill you just added and stare at your scratch paper 5)make a sandwich and think for a bit about how much you and the drummer hate your lead guitar, also lose the scratch paper. 5.5) break times over. Back to it 6)fail to remember how that one part went exactly. 6.5) play on repeat until.frustration sets in 7)add some slides or a good bend somewhere for more flavor, seems bland right now. 8)give up on that one part and make up a new, simple fill for the gaping hole in the song 9)write it all down and play it through 10) find old scratch paper and reinclude that one part 11)remove the fill again, talk to the guitarist about putting his solo there, itll only be a 5 minute shredfest with no discernable tempo or timing, should be cool. 12)play through and review your work. 13) get the gang together for a practice 14) oh... the drummer was the only one who cared about your bass line, even had some good ideas about how to make that dead zone feel lively. the rhythm guitarist would have too if she wasn't busy groping the singers brother instead of practicing. 15)realize the truth, you're not even a band, more like a motley crew of vagabonds with instruments and a busted ass camry. 16) play the shit at bars anyway. Let the lead shred for 18 straight minutes in the middle of the song. Enjoy yourself, it's music for music's sake.

    Very supportive - I plan to watch more of your videos. Have been a guitarist and before that drummer for over 50 years. Always have been interested in playing bass. Just ordered a Squier PJ bass that a friend said was a good affordable Bass. He has one that he is very happy with. I have a very inexpensive short scale bass. The Squier that is coming is a bit daunting given the long neck I am not used to. But I am going to continue to forge ahead. My philosophy on the drums was always "less is better" and that coupled with all the years of playing rhythm's I think will help me. Not to worry - I Am "dusting off" the metronome!

    Some great advice. But if I were a true beginner looking for a teacher I would be worried that in the early example you do not break down what you were playing, (no tab....No "e-string fourth fret, followed by third string sixth fret" or whatever....) That could put the true beginner off your method as the true beginner is relying on being taught rather than having to pick up everything by attempting to copy without knowing exactly what is being played note by note.

    I thought the same thing. I don't know which finger is doing what unless you tell me. I get my bass on Tuesday and was hoping I could start here. But there is too much information missing for someone like myself. Also, once you start your lesson the camera goes from close up to wide which means I can't even see you starting point (it should be out a few seconds prior to playing). That visual jump makes it near impossible to keep up even before I get started. Triple.
