Should I take bass lessons if I already take guitar lessons?

admin — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:15:16 +0000

I’ve been taking guitar lessons for about a year and im pretty good. I want to play bass too. Should I take bass lessons if I already take guitar lessons?

yes! you should most definetly take lessons, even if only a couple of them. guitar lessons aren’t really going to help you with bass. although you’d think it’d be simple to just pick up a bass and play, especially if you already play guitar. but the techniques are completely different. the playing is completely different, the way you hold your hands on the fret boad is different. it would really help a lot to take some lessons, even if you just need to learn the techniques. then i would recommend that after you’ve been playing for a while and have a feel for the bass, go back and take a couple lessons on slapping and popping. do not try and use youtube or something to learn how to slap and pop. its much to difficult and lessons would help so much for that.
