I have bought a bass guitar (and amplifier of course)

Use a pick, you doof.

A lot of the really fast stuff is done with a pick (notable exception for Les Claypool, who must have hands of steel).

Or Steve Harris, but basically that's true.

Also Tamas must learn to play this:

OMFG!


I think I am showing slow but steady progress btw. Actually my music-playing and non music-playing friends say my progress is excellent compared to the time I have spent with it but of course they draw their conclusion from regular guitar. I think the bass is more noob friendly. But of course it takes no less skill and effort to be truly good with it.

You are nothing until you have mastered "Peter Gunn."

Actually, I learned it using a different tab, but did not like the big jumps around frats so I tried this new tab I found, and this is the result. The tempo change in the middle is ugly but I certainly had worse efforts.

How much it sucks, anyway?

It's solid beginner stuff.
