ELECTRIC BASS LESSONS

The electric bass guitar is an electrically-amplified string instrument played with the fingers by plucking or slapping, or by using a pick. The bass is similar in appearance to an electric guitar, but with a larger body, a longer neck and scale length, and, usually, four or five strings tuned one octave lower in pitch, in the bass range.
Since the 1950s, the electric bass has largely replaced the double bass in popular music. The bass is typically used to provide the low-pitched bassline(s) and bass runs in popular music and jazz. The electric bass is also used as a soloing instrument in jazz, fusion, Latin, funk, and rock styles.

We have an elective at my school, music jam, and my friend josh, a STUDENT, is teaching it. I chose to learn electric bass. I like it a lot so far.

But seriously, that is some mean bass playing
