Advice is needed to help find technique.

[KidWithAJewFro]

Greetings fellow bassists!

I want to expand my playing style and get better as a musician like everyone else here, I'm sure. I have used the Hal Leonard Fast-Track Bass Method books 1 and 2 and I have no clue what I should do now because there is no book 3 in the series. Would it be best to find a different lesson book focusing on one particular style or should I learn a bunch of scales and different variations of them and get down the roots, 3rds, and 5ths?

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

Play songs you like. Once you get to technique you need to be with a teacher. Live knee to knee is the best, if that is not in the cards then there are a bunch of DVD's out there, pick one that you think will have a technique you want to learn and use that.


Good luck.
