How’d you learn how to play the bass…I’m learning and yt tutorials mostly suck , like none of them teach me how to use my fingers on the fret board
hai hai hai hello!!! I taught myself because I played guitar before bass and I think it helped me (BUT DONT GET A GUITAR JUST FOR THIS PURPOSE)
It depends what question you have, like u kinda have to specify because idrk what ur asking. but if your like new new you press your fingertips on the string u w. Anna play between the little metal lines (frets) on the fretboard and that should make a note.
if u want I can make a tutorial for complete beginers
YOU PLAY THE BASS?? What kinda bass do own?
Any songs you like to play on the bass?
hello!!!! hi!!!! yesss I play bass and guitar!!!
I have a matte red fender squier, I think its from the debut series or whatever that means. (I searched it up)
personally I love love love love love playing sharpest lives by my chemical romance, the foundations of decay, demolition lovers, cut up angels, what a catch Donnie, LAX to O'Hare by the academy is..., After the last midtown show, or just stuff that has melody and can be heard over guitar and drums.
i talk too much but yeah I love talking about bass guitar ty for asking luca calmb3forethestorms pink heart emoji

THRILLCHASER
Look at those hands
Bass chick 🎸
Or whatva
if it wasn’t obvious that I fucking love bassists yet, here are cliff burton and jason newsted because I believe they deserve so much more recognition than they get. even though I am admittedly not the biggest fan of metallica (I don’t hate them dw, their music and actions just aren’t always my thing), I can recognise the fucking powerhouses that both cliff and jason were as part of the band.
first of all, like half of the members wouldn’t know basic music theory and chord progressions if it wasn’t for cliff. if I’m not mistaken, he had to teach lars and james what sixteenth notes were. that was how bad things were. like this guy literally MADE metallica, they would legitimately be lost without him.
not to mention cliff’s fantastic work on bass and just insane abundance of musical talent. I personally consider him to be the best musician in metallica, period. rip cliff I fucking love you.
and jason newsted, despite receiving a less than warm welcome after joining the band, managed to build a reputation as one of metallica’s greatest live performers and the unarguable soul of the band. again, fucking love this dude, wish his potential wasn’t crushed and he was allowed to express creatively. what they did to his sound on justice is upsetting to this day.
love these guys.
This pic makes the lyrics of anything goes come to my head hehe 💀
