Dude - you have the basics down - now go and work on your timing and some clear ideas - this wasn't good on either...try getting a simple pattern going and develop it - this didn't seem to have any connotations of a 'song' idea at all - I'll say it again - listen to what the likes of Flea or Larry Graham do - they pick a line and repeat it - create a groove and sustain it - the idea being to draw the audience into the sound and the rhythm.

Oh yeah - practice makes perfect - don't give up.

Sorry for the Randy Jackson reply; couldn't resist - but on a serious note - good attempt but urb_munki has given you the best advice ever "practice makes perfect - don't give up." thats the name of the game, keep workin' it till you got it!

EFFECTIVE practice makes perfect IMHO

Thanx guys

You have the right idea, but think about rhythmic accuracy. Practice with a metronome/drum machine as much as possible.
