minus-square@jordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish10•6 months agoBought a bass guitar, should be here tomorrow. No, I have NO idea what I’m doing.
minus-square@jordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•6 months agoLessons start on Thursday so we’ll see what they have me start with (scales, I’m sure! LOL!). If I could pull any one song out of the ether and play it perfectly it would be Higher Ground. Either version :) https://youtu.be/X3mRasO5bvo https://youtu.be/1esf0efHbjM
minus-squareSkualinkfedilink2•6 months agoOooh I like it. I’m sure your teacher will cover this, but I’d definitely aim for the Stevie Wonder version first. The slap style that Flea plays is great fun but it’s very hard work on your hands if they’re not used to playing bass
minus-square@TexasDrunk@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•6 months agoIntellectually I knew they made hollow body bass guitars, but I’ve never actually seen one that I can remember. That looks really cool. Good luck with your musical journey!
