Tips

1. Get a metronome, or go to http://www.metronomeonline.com/ and practice in front of the computer. 2. Practice often, it doesn't have to be for long periods of time, but the more often the better and easier the bass will be. 3. Get power tab editor (http://www.power-tab.net/) then go to http://www.powertabs.net/ to find every song you'll ever need, and decently transcribed, the only thing is you have to make an account with them to download tabs. 4. When you practice always do the techniques correctly, never be lazy. Something played 99% right is 100% wrong. Also practicing like this is actually worse than practicing at all! 5. Start off slowly when first trying a riff, then as you get it right increase by 5 bpm (on that metronome!) until you get up to speed.
