Learning elctric bass? ... Share your thoughts,gotta learn somewhere...

A good place to start is to learn your major scales in all twelve keys. Everything is based off of the major scales in one way or another. Sing the note names as you play them, and then sing the scale degree number as you play them. Don't try to play fast right off the bat. Proficiency will develop speed. Learn your circle of 5ths/4ths. This is just a table of the twelve major keys and their relative minor keys. There are probably a lot of youtube videos to help beginners and intermediate players, and literally tons of books on the subject. Don't forget that music is supposed to be FUN!!! Good luck.
