10 TIPS for beginner & self taught bassists | HOW TO TEACH YOURSELF BASS + mistakes you're making

After years of wanting to be a ✨ROCK STAR✨ I taught myself how to play bass as a beginner 5 years ago. Today I’m sharing 10 TIPS to help you learn bass too!

These are little tricks that you might not pick up if you don’t have a teacher, things that I got wrong myself and little hacks to make learning the bass guitar easier.

I’ve also included a bonus list of common mistakes new bass players make, so you can double check your techniques before you get too set in your ways.


I honestly LOVE playing bass because it is so easy to pick up.If you’ve always wanted to play music, I cannot recommend playing bass guitar enough. You can go from complete novice to playing professional gigs so quickly.


As promised, here’s a list of songs I found really easy to learn when I first started playing bass.
