I played string bass and never liked tuning it. I enjoyed learning how to play but I didn't like reading sheet music, I usually tried to memorize the music. That only gets you so far though, once the music gets long and complicated then you gotta read the sheet music.
You get different types of rosin too, so maybe look into that as your playing improves. I remember that I used to like a purple colored rosin because it was more grippy and was good for the lower notes, but that was 40 years ago so I'm sure things have changed  |
Right now I’m trying to get in the habit of counting off and staying at a steady beat. I have no trouble reading/following sheet music , it’s the time signatures that throw me off. I end up playing too fast or too slow or playing certain notes for the wrong length of time. I really need to work on using a metronome to lock into timing things right
I like the darker rosin better as well! It’s good
