at my praise team director's suggestion(prodding) I bought a Bass guitar in order to free up some of the team members to do other things. I am completely green. i have picked up the guitar 20 times in my life(i in fact own an acoustic) and learned chords but i have never played seriously.
i've tried piano and have played trumpet as a yout'. I say that so you know I am not unfamiliar with music. i have ordered books and a DVD from the library to learn the bass. i have been online as well. i am looking for the best direction for "lessons" or techniques to learn in order to expedite the learning process-----any suggestions?
