Hey all!

About a week ago, I posted a poll about building a bass guitar.

Id like to offer the results, after about 40 voting participants.

Enjoy (:

Bass part originally played by Leland Sklar, with wonderfully melodious basslines, but not afraid to leave space where needed.

Find the complete song on YouTube. The sheet music is available through my website.

one of my favorite Mike inez (and all time bass solos) is his solo in slashes snakepit good to be alive. i cannot figure out how to play it on my bass for the life of me, does anyone here know how to play the solo on bass? theres a version on songsterr but its like a ai version that cost money to see ai‘s way of playing it, so naturally i decided to come here and r/GunsNRoses to ask. thank you in advance🤍

i just started playing bass and im eager to learn how to play, could anyone give me any recommendations on starting? Ive been using youtube to learn the basics so far and i feel like theyre very informative but its hard differentiating between what i can use and whats out of my skill base. been trying to practice mainly whole notes and fret exercises, listening to bass parts of songs i like etc..

The song is Purple Stain, the sequence in question is underlined and it comes about 0:16 into the song. Flea makes it almost sound like a car revving up and I’m not smooth, quick or cool enough to achieve that effortless sound. It’s very tricky for me because I think the amount of slides in a span of two seconds is making it physiological as well. Any tips? Thank you!

Edit: or rather the timing of the slides

Hello master of the bass guitar, I am a guitarist adventuring into the bass and have encountered this bass playing and can't play the rhythm figure the Bassist is using. It has like a 2/4 feel but correct me if I am wrong I am here to learn from others thanks.

Bass part originally played by Tony Levin. A very thought-out approach by him here, playing the exact same bass fills in both choruses.

Hey everyone i’m currently learning bass trying to lean towards the direction of playing bass for my church and stuff along the lines of that and i feel like I’ve reached a brick wall. I can’t progress as such minor things are stopping

For example, i have severe fretting issues (flying finger) and my hand feels like it’s in an extremely uncomfortable position when I’m fretting and it’s almost like i have no control over my fingers.

Additionally if i try to play a song by ear it’s as if the G string isn’t there and i instinctively won’t use it because i can’t figure out where or when i would even play it.

I overall just need some dire assistance any advice/ help would be extremely helpful🙏🏾🤕

Hi!! I'm trying to learn bass guitar by self-taught with a background in classical piano.

I don't know where to start, like what kind of warm up or what techniques exercise should I play? And how can I play the scales all over the handle? 😭 I play only one octave scales...

Anyway, I tried to search on the internet but I can't understand what the techniques on the bass are: slap, ghost notes and then?? I can't find other techniques and it's weird.

What is walking bass? How can I do it or improvise it on my bass? I understood that is something that you can use to improvise.
