Thanks to Mike Caro...I have graduated to playing up the neck for the most part, and it IS easier and sounds better...best of all, I know the notes because of the "chart" he comprised above. I have also graduated from playing with my thumb to finger plucking which is so much more definitive. Since we play rock, this is crucial. It's still difficult to play and sing, but I have been getting better every week! The girls support me 110% and encourage me which is so wonderful!  I saw a really, REALLY great bass player last night who's been playing for 30 years, and sure, next to him I felt like an "embryo" but tonight at practice I could tell my own improvement and so could the rest of the band. We are attempting more difficult songs now. Will keep ya posted and THANK YOU for everyone's input!
