Endurance training

[KingRazor]

I was curious about methods of practice to increase your endurance when it comes to bass playing. I haven't played at any gigs, the longest I've played was a little over a half hour when I was sitting in for my church's band rehearsal.

I want to work on being able to play for long periods of time, any advice?

Funk and R&B.

Just play a lot. Practice a lot, play with other people a lot, learn lots of songs by ear, just so things in larger intervals.

You will just have to work up to the longer gigs. Practicing at home - stand up. A thumb pick will help when your fingers give out. Sit on your amp when your back gives out. A tall stool for one or two songs helps. Just back up to it and take the load off.

The juices will be flowing and you will probably not ever realize the time.

Good luck.
