Question

How long does it usually take to learn bass guitar?

Answer 1

If you practice on a daily base, and 7 days a week. In 3 months, you will have acquired some knowledge of the bass. Listen to a lot of music and try to play along.

This way, you develop your ear training which is important and you are also obliged to follow the timing of the music.

Two important factors. Some basic technique is to play one finger per fret.

Ex.. play 1-2-3-4th ret with fingers 1-2-3-4 and go all the way up to the small G string. Then work yourself back with 4-3-2-1 all the way to the E string (fat string)

Use alternate fingering on the right hand using the first two fingers. Use one stroke of each finger for each note.

Answer 2

That depends on a couple of things. If you practice a lot then you could probably learn fast. Plus, some people are faster learners than others...

Hope this helps!!!
