Bass Lessons are available in all kinds of formats these days audio, video, book and even on-line. No matter what type of media you choose to start your journey to learning how to play slap bass you must always concentrate on the fundamentals no matter what your skill level. Even a professional like Tiger Woods has a teacher or a coach that makes sure he never loses site of the foundations that built his golf game to what it is today.
Have you considered online bass guitar lessons? What usually gets people started with bass guitar is the desire to form a band, or to be a part of a band. Maybe you already know how to play guitar, and your friends play guitar too--but you all can't be the lead guitarist or the rhythm guitarist. Someone needs to play bass. Maybe that someone is you.
Choose a bass guitar and familiarize yourself in holding it. The "waist" or the slope of the body of the guitar would fit perfectly on your thigh while sitting. Regularly exercise the flexibility of your fingers by alternately tapping each on a flat surface so that strumming the notes will not be a problem.
So, now you've got to actually LEARN. There are basic techniques that will help you to achieve success in a few steps, so don't over look them. You should be open-minded to properly learn ALL that you can.
Now that you already know the really basic stuff, you should take a quick peek on other important topics. Scales, techniques, learning songs and lines is the next step for a starter.
Time spent practicing is rapidly rewarded in the early stages of learning an instrument. And the electric bass is not as difficult to get a sound from as many other instruments (provided of course, that you have an amplifier!).
Hope that this helps you take the first steps in learning bass. You should be able to express yourself, of course. But without this information, there are no elements available for expressing yourself!
