    I've played piano for 7 years and I'm getting bored. And since I'm already a sucker for a good bassline I think this would be awesome. Although anything with strings intimidates me.

      Don't be, there's not reason to be, I've playing guittar since I was 15, and I learn to lose my demonds about the strings, without any warning you will be happy to learn but you need to practice every single day, and you also play the piano so is waaay too easy for you even, cuz your fingers are already prepare :)

    Don't get me wrong here, this guy is a bass teaching wizard... But people need to realize that most bass beginners start off with a 4 string bass, not a 5 string bass. So teaching with 5 string will only confuse them.

      @@user-io3ci7rb8s halo, actually i learned the basics from him, you know the strings tunes this and that. but the best way to learn an instrument faster (for me) is to play advanced. like play songs, i have learned various of songs from tutorials from youtube, i don't really know the chords so i just familiarize myself with the number tabs XDD and when i watch people play bass, i imitate their hand gestures, watch which string they're pressing and plucking. i learned bass after a week that month, you could too. but it could be different for you.
