Ok, this could be a tendon strength thing, which will come in time and with practice. Stay positive, and keep on working. Your mobility will get better and better, trust me (I remember having the same problem!) Hello Vivienne!

So...the first fret on the E string is an F. The 13th fret on the E string is an F. The second fret on the E string is an F#. The 14th fret on the E string is an F#. The third fret on the E string is a G. The 15th fret on the E string is a G, and so on and so on. It just repeats itself. On all strings :) All you need to know is that everything after the 12th fret is the same as the the board before it.

I'm looking for a bass, and, while I search for it, I'm learning this using my acoustic guitar. It seems to be doing pretty well. I wrote it down by hand to help memorizing. Now, let's get to work!

One thing I can't seem to shake is the way my thumb grips the neck of the neck. It seems to glue itself in one spot. I believe this has hindered my progress. Can you suggest a way to hold my bass, or a way for me to break this habit? Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into setting up your lessons and blogs. Hi Kris
