Got a used Fender Squire PBass, seems to have not been used at all.

It feels nice to play some songs but planning on figuring out some Red Hot Chilli Peppers songs due to some decent bass lines there.

Might try figuring out slap to help me out but for now just two finger picking and using Rocksmith.

I did play guitar before, fender starcaster. Not an expert but slowly by slowly expanding my knowledge.

Will be definitely something I am trying but will be focusing on scales first and getting my finger movement alot more smoother. As well as certain skills like slap and harmonics, hammer on and pull off. I want to perfect them as fast as possible.

Billy Jean seam like a simple riff, other than the bridge and the chorus, it's the same pattern but shifted down a string every now and again.

Okay was learning some songs but decided to go down the route of music theory for a bit, and I must say it is way easier to understand the theory with the bass than it was with the guitar. Right now trying to understand how to build chords, from the bass scales. Starting with major and mostly trying to figure out the 1 - 3 - 5 scale interval, which seems simple enough but still trying to apply it to every major chord.
