hmm, i'll take that into consideration mate :Spin:Bryant said:I will get flamed for this, but actually listen to some pop music and learn some of it. Just don't play that shit live or even show your friends. Ha ha ha...
I am actually dead serious. Though there certainly are notable exceptions, metal music is based on loud six string guitar and thundering drums. The bass gets lost often. Some of the 90s pop bands like The Gin Blossums and The Counting Crows have/had good bass players that don't play extremely difficult basslines, but have great flow, personality and tie the guitar and drums together well, while still throwing in cool riffs of their own.

aye, exactly what I thought. a lot of people start off without lessons and after a long while, they realise that they've done it wrong... and by then, getting a teacher would be too late and it would be really difficult to start over..SPL said:That's the WORST advice I've ever heard.
Lessons, even if it's just a few of them, are the BEST way to start learning a new instrument. Someone to guide and correct you is the best thing you can have.
