Bass Guitar Lessons
The standard bass guitar has only four strings, have much thicker strings, have longer necks, and is a slightly larger instrument. Tuning of a bass guitar is the same as the lowest four strings of a regular guitar, except one whole octave down in pitch. Therefore, the strings of bass guitar are tuned EADG, just like the lowest four strings on a regular guitar. So, in many ways, the bass is exactly the same as the guitar, except with two fewer strings and a lower tuning.
A good bassist knows his or her job is to carry the band, and provide a backbone that holds up the other instruments. In genres like jazz and blues this means settling into a groove and working with the drummer. In metal and hard rock it means supplying the meat of the guitar riff, that part of the sound that puts the audience through the back wall.
