I thought my sense of rhythm would be of some help

Yes indeed your sense of rhythm will be a HUGE help.

@shadowarrior

do I have anti-alien super small hands?

Check out these threads:

Small hands need help!

So I have a four string bass and my hands seem to always touch the bottom of the bass when I begin to play. I start playing in this positions and then bam! My palm is no bueno. How can I pay attention to this without loosing concentration on the notes I’m playing. [15282368158951116804563] Thanks

You think your hands are too small?

Think again. That’s not a shortscale she’s playing.

PROOF your hands are NOT too small to play bass!

Watch 10 year old Gev Delano play his 5 string bass. youtu.be/Noc2K5Zk2Cw

Short finger blues ;)

[fret%20hand] Thank goodness Josh says microshifts of the fretting hand are ok. Here’s what I’m working with… longest finger is only 2/3 the length of my palm! hahaha But I’ve seen vids of badass kids playing bass so if they can do it, I can do it, too. Day 3 and loving the lessons!
