Summary: In this segment we would be discussing the introductory basic to the bass guitar. We would be talking about the components of the guitar itself, the body, the head, the neck. We would be demonstrating on our 4 string base though you might own a 5 string or a 6 string we recommend learning first with the 4 string base. Well at least these 4 strings EAD and G. Whether it is 6 strings, whether it is how to tune using the electric tuner or using your ear. We would talk about proper positioning, about how to pluck the strings. We would talk about the different methods but we would go probably concentrates in using our fingers as oppose as a pick or our thumb. Those are reliable techniques to you would rather work on the harder one and the more rewarding. We would talk about notes on the top 2 strings the low E and the A string on our bass ans we would learn the natural notes on those plus a melody. By the end we would be playing Mary Had a Little Lamb and we would understand also in between where our sharps and our flats can be found. How to read base clef and how to read notes as well.
