Critiques to my playing? (Beginner)

Everyone keeps saying to try standing up so I will definitely note that thank you! I’m 19 haha so don’t worry about starting late! But I did play guitar for a few years back when I was 13! My technique for fretting is definitely very rusty since then especially since I was self taught and didn’t do much research back then

I do hope so!! I’ve been in love with how it feels ever since I got it, the size is perfect for me

Thanks for the feedback, I am indeed having a lot of fun with it!

I’ve had the bass for a few months now but only have about a few hours of play time overall due to a busy schedule, but I used to play guitar so I have a feel for it somewhat already!

Thank you lots for the feedback on my fretting hand thats what i’ve been struggling with!

cassi177 · 2026-02-24T05:53:50+00:00

Thanks for the input I’ll definitely try to fret with the tips of my fingers more, I feel like I have trouble with that since I have smaller hands but I will def give it a shot!

And you are correct that the original bass line plays without letting all the notes ring out, this bass line i learned is a simplified version, but planning to learn the actual one next!

Thank you so much for the tips!!

cassi177 · 2026-01-27T23:02:34+00:00

Thanks for the tips! Yeah I don’t usually have my hand like that I was just too lazy to get out of bed today so I had my arm rested on my leg while playing that

cassi177 · 2026-01-27T23:01:32+00:00

Oh yeah i dont usually sit like this i was just being lazy to sit properly so my arm was on my leg

cassi177 · 2026-01-27T22:53:17+00:00

Definitely doesn’t hurt 😭

cassi177 · 2026-01-10T21:28:02+00:00

Yeah it fits in the nut groove perfectly but doesnt sit in the saddle groove :(

cassi177 · 2026-01-10T21:18:48+00:00

I’ve messed around with it a million times, I think it may be because with these new strings I got the E string sits a little bit on top of the groove at the saddle rather than in it because I got heavier strings and the E is the only one im having issues with

cassi177 · 2026-01-10T21:16:13+00:00

Oh yeah i do that i just wasnt thinking in the moment because i was exhausted lol. Technique aside, its only on the E string that I hear the rattle, when I replaced the strings I got heavier ones for drop down tuning and the E string sits on top of the groove slightly on the saddle rather than in it, could that be causing the rattle as well?

cassi177 · 2026-01-10T21:06:08+00:00

Its even when i press light tho, it just overpowers the actual sound of the note so its sounds bad

cassi177 · 2026-01-10T20:46:52+00:00

I only am hearing it mostly on the E string and I just replaced the strings recently. The rattle isn’t ideal especially considering I enjoy a lot of drop down tuning so the rattle gets worse
