š My full beginner bass course: yeah.bassbuzz.com/myths
Are you letting beginner bass myths hold back your playing? Letās tackle some big ones and find out if theyāre confirmed or bustedā¦
Myth #1 - Bass is Boringā¦ we just stand at the back, looking sullen, waiting for the show to end so we can pack up the lead guitaristās gear while they talk to groupies, right?
You can probably guess what I think of this myth, since this is a bass channelā¦ but check out how I demonstrated how important the bass is.
Myth #2 - Bass is Easier than Guitarā¦ If youāre a bassist you might immediately say āhell no,ā but itās a little more complicated than you might think. I explain the differences, plus a live demo of why guitar players can get away with bad habits that bassists canāt.
Myth #3 - You Canāt Play with Small Handsā¦ this is one of the most common myths about bass. Iāve had so many students worry that they wonāt be able to play bass because their hands are small. Weāll see if we can find any pro bass players with small hands, plus Iāll talk about how to deal with it if your hands are length-challenged.
Myth #4 - Pick or Fingers? The age-old question. Can you play bass with a pick? Is pick better than fingers? Weāll look for answers by checking out a bunch of pro bass players and seeing what they do.
Myth #5 - It Takes a Long Time to Learn Bassā¦ the great unspoken beginner bass myth. Weāll put it to the test and see what one of my former students has to say about it.
Okay, your head is clear of bass myths, and youāre ready to fill it with good stuff. Click here to subscribe for more beginner bass lessons: yeah.bassbuzz.com/subscribe
