Depending on the tune you'd like to play, you can pick either the higher B note or the lower B note. If you're just getting started, it may be worth your time to learn how to play a few different B notes at both octaves so that you can play either one when necessary.5 • Step 2: Pick the String You'd like to Use • Each of the four strings on you bass guitar can play B. However, you may prefer playing the B note on one string more than others, either for the type of sound that specific string makes, or for it's convenient proximity to other notes you want to play either right before or right after. It's worth trying out all the options a few different times before deciding on the option you prefer. • Step 3: Play Your Chosen B Note • After you've selected your preferred octave and preferred string, the only thing left to do is to go ahead and play the note! However, you can also control the sound of the note with the way you strum the string. Strumming the string lightly and quickly can lead to a more solid sounding tone, while plucking the string can give your sound a grimier edge. • Check out these related Mahalo pages: • Bass guitar parts: http://www.mahalo.com/bass-guitar-parts • How to hold a bass guitar: http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-hold-a-b... • How to pluck a bass guitar: http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-pluck-a-... • How to play an A note on bass guitar: http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-play-an-... • How to play an A sharp on bass guitar: http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-play-an-... • How to play a B note on bass guitar: http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-play-a-b... • How to play a C note on bass guitar: http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-play-a-c... • How to play a C sharp note on bass guitar: http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-play-a-c... • How to play a D note on bass guitar: http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-play-a-d... • How to play a D sharp note on bass guitar: http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-play-a-d... • How to play an E note on bass guitar: http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-play-an-... • How to play an F note on bass guitar: http://www.mahalo.com/stub/how-to-pla... • How to play an F sharp note on bass guitar: http://www.mahalo.com/stub/how-to-pla... • How to play a G note on bass guitar: http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-play-a-g... • How to play a G sharp note on bass guitar: http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-play-a-g... • • Check out these other Mahalo how-to series: • How To Play Guitar For Newbies: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list... • How To Play Guitar Songs: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list... • How To Play Piano Songs: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list... • How To Play Bass Guitar: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list... • How To Play Drums: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list... • How To Get Into Shape: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list... • How To Make Coffee: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list... • How To Get A Job: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list... • How To Use Facebook: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list... • How To Speak French: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list...
