Hi Dan thank you for your bass classes quick question the tasty lick in E I’m confused the 14 th fret? Isn’t 16th on G string E? Idk maybe typo anyway you talked about where do you want to go as a bassist I am wanting to go the way you’ve went to play and sharpen my reading chops I am a 6 string guitarist and just started bass 6 months ago went through a few books in guitar and piano years ago but notoriously a very slow reader so thank you I’m diving into it at your recommendations
Sincerely jim
Reading will definitely help you, Jim. It’s hard but rewarding! Once you get it and practise it, it also becomes easier.
The 16th fret of the G string is a B, not an E.
