I soooo feel your pain....Learning the fretboard is tough for me too! In fact, playing the bass PERIOD is challenging for me.. :'(  But, I am determined to be able to express myself through the instrument one day. :-[

Keep at it...when you learn the formula, let me know.  I just get distracted easliy and end up just practicing scale patterns.  I love scales.  I need to be focusing more on chords and progressions.

The hardest thing for me was to stop looking for the approval of men. I'm doing it for the Lord with the gifts and talents He has given me, and in His timing. Worrying about how men think of my playing is about FLESH, not God.

Once I was free of that my playing became better. Much better.  :)

Yes, natural harmonics are what I'm talking bout. Give me some insight. Thanks in advance.

Hardest thing for me to learn was my ear. Things I'm working on right now is slapping.
God is #1 in my life.  Put your trust in him!!

I would have to say tapping and chording is what is giving me a haymaker right now...eventhough I dont weigh tapping as a bass essential, and I dont really practice it that much. I lean more towards chording and scale approches more so...and I am a slap junkie too so...

And no I dont try and slap while playing amazing grace....lol ::)

But I would if I could do it like Victor Wooten ;D
