How to get started playing a 3 string fretless guitar. Specially for those plucky people who have bought one of mine, for which I thank you and hope you really learn to enjoy making music. No music knowledge or theory needed for noodling and I hope this helps you feel more at ease with your new instrument - no need to be frightened of it!

Thanks for your comments - I felt some of the tutorials on here are a bit complicated and too full of music theory for the absolute novice so I decided to break it down to the bare essentials in the hope we can attract more players.  Since I don;t understand half of it myself it was easy!

Good advice, great video. Cheers for that, I'm picking up the guitar now. I may noodle some time.
