What he ment was to learn some songs from successful artists to get a feel of how bass is played.

Also, learn songs by ear, from CD's, etc... Get some beginners books, and pick up an ear training course. This will get you on the right path. But nobody becomes great in a short time, so lower your expectations, and enjoy the journey.

If you've already decided what answers you're willing to hear or not hear, don't ask the question.
If you're willing to hear what people think, then ask the question.
Otherwise it's just a waste of time.

Practice is whats gonna make you good if you dont want to do that maybee you should consider a new hobby to try out

MOTIVATION
It will either break you ( for the lack of it ) or make you
Just ask any TB memeber here when they got the big "M" time itself does not matter because everything else will go hand in hand and once you get the enjoyment factor it will make you wan't to achieve with what you want no matter what the cost is or how long it takes.
If you want to know what to practice I suggest you look up JAZZBO's practice thread in the GENERAL INSTRUCTION forum or do a search there have been other threads on this subject

| | | From a fellow beginner, but learned in other disciplines: You don't get to say whether or not you're a great bassist. That's up to somebody else. All you can do is practice sincerely, and with full attention. Do that for a couple of years, and you might be on the road to artistry. And maybe someday, somebody will say "Damn, he's a great bassist!"
Good luck!

But remember, there WILL be people in your team who don't want you to be great. That's a promise.
Edit: That's $400,000 US
