So after a trip to the rock and roll Hall of Fame and playing with a bass guitar, I decided one of my retirement projects was to learn bass guitar.
Bought everything and am having a blast. Can't believe back in the day we had to pay for lessons, now I have multiple professionals in my house at my fingertips on YouTube for free.
My right hand does fantastic walking the two or even three fingers down by the pickups. My left hand not so much.
The left hand feels easier not wrapping the guitar but attacking from the top. Overhand, almost piano looking-both hands going down from the top.
Is there a reason most play from the bottom? Monkey see monkey do? Some strategic reason?
My goal is competence to play along whatever I hear. I LOVE music and listen to hours of it everyday. This is so pleasurable it's crazy. But that left hand I've got to figure out.
Thanks for any replies
