Yo /mu/tants. So I'm in highschool as a senior (18) and our school does a big musical each year and they're doing the little mermaid this time and I want to play electric bass for it. The bass book has parts where you switch from acoustic to electric but someone else will be playing acoustic. I haven't really learned to read music for electric until last week, and we have a whole week break off until first music rehearsal. My question is, how easy will it be to learn the music? I looked over it and its not that hard. But I just want to be ready ad much ad possible. What is a good way to improve faster?
>pic unrelated.

Practice is the only answer I can give you. It will be as hard to learn as you make it.

Well shit, my bad.
I learned bass six months ago (also play bassoon, saxophones, piano, voice and arranging) and it's a very easy instrument. I would say work first on plucking with your right hand. From there, learn where all of the notes are. It helps if you are good at intervals. Post music

I don't have the music for it yet. But I can play this pretty easily, and walk for the most part.

Do you think whitehouse will ever surpass birdseed?

Be careful, because musicals are written for singers, not instrumentalists. It's hard when you have weird time or key changes or vamps or a director who will shit all over the music. Always have a pencil for practice just in case (you should be doing this anyway)
