I’ve always thought of myself as a ‘life-long’ learner, and clearly this is how my family see me. My wife and kids bought me a Bass Guitar for a Christmas gift! I’ve never played a musical instrument – other than the triangle in primary school – so the inclusion of a Bass Guitar in the house is a new challenge. We already have a full-sized drum kit, a keyboard and a range of electric and acoustic guitars that my kids play – seems that they desperately needed a Bassist!
And then reality took hold – how
could I learn to play the Bass Guitar? I wasn’t sure I wanted a series of ‘lessons’ – not my idea of fun sitting with a teacher for an hour a week and going home £30 lighter. Being involved with online learning day to day, I wondered what would be on the web to help me learn to play. I was really quite amazed at the breadth and depth of the materials ‘out there’. This is what I have found in the few weeks since I opened my Christmas gift: all these are free, by the way!
