Dave's Bass Links

Bass Stuff


I've played trumpet for nearing 30 years and piano longer than that. So it's been fun to learn a new (and foreign) instrument. I've never played guitar, so it's been . . . interesting . . .

Here's some stuff that I've been collecting as I figure out how to play this instrument:
