![How I Would Learn Bass (If I Could Start Over)
đ My full beginner bass course: https://yeah.bassbuzz.com/how
If I could learn bass all over again, THIS is what Iâd do differently. And no, itâs not practice more with a freaking metronome.
Ya know when you first start learning an instrument, and youâre SUPER PUMPED?
But then the novelty wears off, life starts getting in the way and you find youâre practicing less and less?
THESE are the critical moments that make or break you as a bassist. How you respond in these moments dictates whether you stick with it⌠or not.
But if typical bass lessons, about [scales] and [fretting technique], are the solution in these tough moments⌠why do some many people give up?
Because playing bass - and sticking with it - is more than just learning the âouter gameâ of technique and theory. If you neglect your âinner gameâ you run a serious risk of doing what I did - realizing youâve p*ssed years up the wall, which is a charming British expression for wasting your damn life.
So lemme show you the secrets to the âinner gameâ of learning bass, so that you donât waste years playing badly and learning slowly.
*King actually pulled this quote from Philip Rothâs âEveryman,â from a character who is quoting the artist Chuck Close. Most writers and artists share this feeling, but Close gets the quote cred.
