How Do You Play A Note On Bass Guitar?
Learning to play a note on a bass guitar is the first step to becoming the next rock legend. Good technique is what will separate you from all the pretenders who never make it out of the garage. Place your right hand over the guitar body and rest your forearm on the top of the body. Let your fingers hang down at the level of the strings. Play a single note by plucking a string upward from below using about a half inch of the fleshy part of your finger. Plucking a string while keeping all the fingers of your left hand off the frets is called an open note. There are only four open notes on the bass guitar, one for each string. Use each of the four fingers to play a different note on each of the four strings. Use the tip of the index finger for the G string (at the bottom of the fret board), your second finger for the next one up (the D string), your ring finger for the second from the top string (the A string) and your pinkie for the top string (the E string).
