So uh Rate my playing Be brutal.

[Dazzare]

So I've recorded myself During practice and I really want to get better. I just have no clue where to start.

I have a Decent ear and it only started to develop itself Recently as in the last week and a half I'm kinda surprised as to how good it was when I first started to use it.

Like I sad I have recorded myself practicing and I will upload Links they are all solo practice. Please be as brutal as you can. I do want to improve so badly.

Over a Chord Proggresion More mellow all improv

[stratovani]

Not bad, but you need to have a metronome or a drum machine to play over. Your time sounds to me like it's all over the place, especially on the first one. Remember, playing with a good groove is Job 1 for us bass players. Try this - record yourself playing a 12-bar blues with a metronome set at 100 bpm. You can get a bit fancy if you want, but keep the groove going, and try to hit the root on the "one" of a measure. Then post it and let's see what it sounds like.

Yeah definitely work on your timing. Like Stratovani said above, a metronome will help. Once you get one, you'll learn to "feel" everything else you'll need to know.
