Sign in to disble this ad
i've been playing the bass guitar for a while now and all i know right now is a result of my personal determination. Right now i play regularly in a church band and it's like most of what i do is just score out c.d.s or tapes anytime i want to practise on my own, i'm always at a loss. Mostly, all i do is a permutation exercise by gerald veasly then i try the spider exercise by Pattituchi. I always try to practise scales but i seem not to know what i should do. can someone please help me out. I'm tired of the same old routine.  |

Can you play major, minor, dom7, maj7, aug and dim chord arpeggios over 2 octaves in all keys?
If not, there's enough to practice for a couple of days anyway 
After that, a lot depends on what sort of music you want to play. |

Try to do something new, not only on bass, but in life also.
New experiences will give you new inspiration.
New music, book, movies, can widen your horizon.
Try to play everything you can get your hands on.
Songs from the radio, songbooks, etc.
But it can also be good to lay the bass aside for a week or so. When the urge to play kicks in again, it'll feel fresh.

refer to my reply in the thread of theory vs. technique poll, but basically, find a friend who can solo at guitar, and make up a cool bass line or two, and just go at it til your shoulder aches.
making your own music is what should really inspire you to keep playing. everything else is just a precursor to that.
hang in there

Thanks for posting that link to Libster. I didn't see this one in the talkbass links section. Maybe a thread for new bass sites is in order? | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
