Cthulhu Fhtagn Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 www.playthebass.com and www.activebass.com also have some info you would find useful. www.engrish.com (yes, I MEANT to spell it that way) may help you with your syntax and contex, not to mention your spelling.

jeremy c Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Go to http://www.activebass.com . Click on bassics. Everything you need is there. However, if you are teaching this person, perhaps you could teach him how to draw his own fingering charts. Even if you're a guitar player, you should be able to do this. Free download of my cd!.

davebrownbass Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Yep. He really doesn't need fingerboard charts at all. Teach him scalar finger patterns...have him practice ALL the scales, calling out the note names as he plays them. Force him to find another way to play each scale. Write out the scales in music notation and he'll even learn more. "Let's raise the level of this conversation" -- Jeremy Cohen, in the Picasso Thread. Still spendin' that political capital far faster than I can earn it...stretched way out on a limb here and looking for a better interest rate.

jeremy c Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Well, if you play the fiddle which is tuned G D A E, bass isn't so hard. It's just the opposite, E A D G. So you could come up with a fingering chart without a lot of problems. But meanwhile you have the online sources which have been supplied in the thread. Free download of my cd!.

badgerbass Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Doesn't know how to play and has 12 basses? Whoa! All the scales and such are good, but don't forget songs. The thing that will keep a new player interested is learning songs he likes and playing with a drummer, a drum machine, or other musicians.
