Hopefully by now everyone should know what a fret is. The "fret" are those little pieces of metal running up the front face of the neck of the guitar (called the fretboard). In between the frets are where you should be putting your fingers to play a note. Each fret is spaced so that if you go from one fret to another up the same string you go chromatically up the octave, or it goes up half a step in the 12 tone scale. Think of it as playing every note (including the black ones) on a keyboard or piano if you're confused. |

Welcome
Bass guitar is the coolest, sexiest instrument of any band, and although there are some bands out there without one, these are few and far between. The bassist is the sole of the band, who melds everything together. He/she connects the drummer and the guitarist, the music flows through them. They set the rythm, groove and feel of the song. And there's also never enough of them, decent bassists are hard to come by for any band, because for every bassist there's 10 guitarist's. |
