Take Some Lessons
Life In The Bass Lane
It never hurts to go take some lessons,
If nothing else it will open your mind to New music ideas.
Sometimes its also Necessary to get your mind primed by
some fresh ideas, Or new material.
I Think anyone of any skill level should take some upgrading
to their Playing styles and or abilities.
You upgrade your car,
You upgrade your house , appliances,
So why not upgrade Yourself..
Or at least your bass playing, It never hurts to
Pick up some great stuff, From a Talented instructor, I love
When Good bass players teach me Cool Stuff on the bass.
That`s a huge benefit and having them there to
Show you till you get it right, helps too. I Cannot think of
A better way to improve your playing, Adding new Grooves and Riffs to
Your Personal Arsenal of Bass Moves, Shuffles, Grooves,
Never Hurts.
These investments in your bass playing future are the best
thing you can do for your playing life ,
These set your tone your Bass Playing Personality if you will.
Its Building your reputation, of style ,
The Funk in you and Your Smooth flow,
Your Personal Boogie,
And mostly Your Very Own Groove….
The One nobody else can do.. just like you.
And Nobody……… Does not matter who…. playing any
Instrument……. is Ever Too Good…
And for that Reason
We all keep playing ,
Day after Day Year After Year,
Reward
Or No Reward , We Play. That`s It.
So do it the very best only you can. And getting Fresh ideas .
From a Qualified Pro Is ,Doing it the best you can.
Besides Actually
Doing the part about learning and
Practice, That`s is on you,
And you can pickup local lessons, Depending On Your location
Should Be not much of a problem.
And its a fairly inexpensive, For 200.00 you
can get a pretty good Tuneup on your bass playing,
Thats about 6 -7 hours of lessons,
And take a tape recorder to your lesson,
If Your Instructor Does not mind,
“Tell Him You Are Not Going To Market, The lessons.
It Makes Learning a lot easier,
Believe me sometimes its hard to remember what
A instructor taught you in a quick hour,
But if you are able to record it ,Even with a little cassette tape player ,
Even a little battery operated one. This Will make
all the difference in learning or not learning
in most situations.”Its Very hard to remember
Every little chord change and note in one take,
So to get the most out of your lesson dollar
this is the technique I try to use myself.
It just really helps to tape the lesson,If its only 1 hour lesson
Then you can take it back home,
And go thru it again and again.
It works Great for learning what you were showed.
So Get Some Lessons Today..
later
……..peace….
