Now we are going to learn the names and positions of all the notes on your Bass. We will do this by playing a chromatic scale up and down the neck on each of the open strings. This will help you to familiarize yourself with the notes and eventually visualize the entire neck harmonically. Well also be introduced to enharmonics, which is when the same pitch will be named differently according to what key you are in and what direction you are moving on the neck. You will understand the difference between an A sharp and a B flat! We will also get used to using all four fingers to fret the notes and how to keep from having flying fingers so that your left hand will be in a good position to make it easy to get the notes out.

@danbrdoober the …
@danbrdoober the difference between a Bass Guitar and a Bass is that a Bass is in the form of a string instrument, and by string instrument i mean such as a cello, violin, or contra bass. a Bass GUITAR is basically a bass in guitar form. and by that i mean its a guitar with thicker strings for the lower notes. a 4 string bass is for beginners and intermediate players, there are such things as 5 and 6 string bass guitars to have a wider range of notes too. They are different, but the same, u dig?
