thats one instrument I'd love to play but I just don't have the patience.
I did have bass lesson but all the instructor wanted to teach me is different notes etc and hardly any playing
did it for two and a half months and all I could play was herby Hancock cantelope tune and all I did was bum bum bum space then bum bum ,bum bum bum about 3 different notes but that is it. I was pretty pissed off to say the least. ok he was cheap @£17 hr.
I just wanted to play for a bit of fun..if I could play a couple of songs that was all I wanted.
so I gave my yamaha bass guitar to my son. he could play alright but mostly complicated song like led zeplins stairway to heavens on a acoustics guitar..
anyway he gave me an old applause acoustic guitar that I bought him a few years ago.it still like new but needs new strings now and I've also got a cheap fender style bass guitar with picolo strings and a tremelo . had the tremelo fitted by a local guitar maker.
start to play that and I could play a tune but bugger if I know what it was, I just made it up as I went along.
my son said that brilliant that Dad where did you get it
but try as I might I could not get any books with no's etc like you can on a normal guitar in other words dot to where you fingers on the frets.. so in the end I gave up..

If I wanted to make a life-long career out of

have opened a Harley Davidson Dealership!
