4) Have fun! – Forget just reading books and studying theory when you’re just a beginner on bass guitar. Learn some fun songs and bass lines and enjoy what you are doing.
5) Expand your ear – Try to listen to as many genres of music as you can. With sites like YouTube you have no excuse for not trying out new types of music because it’s free!
