In Rock Music, a Bass Guitar is considered to be one of the most fundamental instruments. Together with the drums, the bass Guitars are responsible for the rhythm of the band. However, a lot of people have a misconception that the base guitar, which consists of only four strings as compared to the traditional six strings of a regular guitar, is not very important. Playing the base guitar is easy to learn, and beginners who would like to learn the basic bass lines won’t find it difficult. Through constant practice, you will be able to master the simple skills and advance to the next level. Here are some tips on how play bass guitar.

• Let yourself become familiar with the base guitar. Whether you have an electric or acoustic bass guitar, the strings on these base guitars are all the same. Be able to identify the names of each guitar string. Actually, these strings are the same as the four strings at the bottom of a regular guitar, but the sound is one octave lower.

• Practice regularly. It is best to practice your skills on a regular basis. For those who dislike practice, it would probably be the not the most fun part of learning to play bass guitar. However, practice will not only help you in mastering the bass guitar, but it will also help in increasing the strength of your fingers.

• Learn fingering and picking techniques. These two techniques work together hand-in-hand. The manner of the movement and the placement of your fingers determine the rhythm.

• Learn how to use your ear and listen to the songs. Reading notes on a piece of music is an important part in learning how to play the bass guitar, but it will also help a lot if you train your ear to listen to notes.

It will take quite some time before you can fully develop your skills in playing the bass guitar, as well as training your ear to determine music. All you need to do is to practice every now and then and be more persistent in learning.

Can you play bass guitar on PS3's Guitar Hero 3?

If you have a Guitar Hero guitar, you have to play multiplayer. For the first Rock Band, you can't play bass on Solo Tour mode, but it allows you to on every other one. You use the guitar controller normally and, right before playing a song, it will ask you which of the two (guitar or bass) you would like to play. Select bass and it will have you play bass notes. On Rock Band 2, you do the same thing. This version allows you to play bass on every mode.
