Hey everyone,A good friend of mine gave me a bass guitar and amp. I never played before in my life, but I do want to learn. What are some good songs to learn on? Again, I don't know what to start out with. Thanks for your time, and your replies.Angelo

Hi Angelo, The Police have some pretty manageable basslines, Roxanne, Can't Stand Losing You etc, find the tabs on here and away you go. Welcome
fucken epic
Hi Angelo. This is just my 2 cents worth. I think I would learn how to pluck the bass first. Maybe learn some scales, timing, some exercises, that kind of thing before I try to jump right into trying to play songs. I learned a lot of blues riffs, walking bass lines, things like that before I even tried my first song. There is a guy on youtube that has a lot of beginner stuff you can learn. He helped me a lot. The website is called BASSBASSBASS. The biggest thing about playing bass is sticking with it. Don't give up. Practice as often as you can. Good luck. Johnny…
Hi Angelo. I forgot to mention there is a lot of great bass lessons right here on big bass tabs. Take advantage of them. I did. P.S The first song I learned after about 8 months of practice was Gone Away by The Offspring. Good song to learn. Take care. Johnny…
Good on you Johnny for sticking it out after eight months of nothing but scales and excercises, I'd have gone mental
Hi Marko. No it really wasn't that bad. I learned enough that I was able to start making my own stuff up. Some of which I still play and have expanded on. Other stuff I think sucks. And I played a lot of blues riffs even though I am not a fan of the blues but was good to learn.
Hi Marko. Also when I started I wanted to be able to just pick up the bass and play and not just other peoples songs. I didn't want to just be a walking jukebox. So learning some scales and blues and walking bass lines really helped. Take care. Johnny…
