Hey....This is my first post and basically it is just a simple question. I really can not afford Bass Guitar Lessons. I love music and it pretty much is my life. What is the best way to become a good bass player without lessons...If it is possible!

By the way - I have an Ibanez

practice!!!

Its the tried and true way to get better. I also suggest getting hal leanards fastrack: bass 1 because that series tought me guitar very well and also bass well and I have never taken a lesson in my life. Also, you probably should have posted this in the bass section of this forum.

If music is your life then you can get small jobs or a steady job to pay for lessons. At least i feel that way. Lessons are the best way.

I think that sometimes lessons are better for some people and not good for others. Im not saying that lessons are bad its just that I most likely learn great with lessons because I feel that I can teach myself at my own speed more effectivly to my own style. All I really have to be careful of is not to form any bad habits.
