From going to see like minded musicians that I respect, and talking with them, listening to their playing, and trying to emulate it, THEN.....following up by playing with like minded musicians, listening to their coaching, recording the sessions, critiquing myself and honestly listening to the WHOLE thing to improve. |

LOL.
Actually I just thought of a similar joke the other day along the same lines...
Everything I ever needed to learn I learned in Kindergart..., er, from a bassist.

|  | Starring In: Return of Kung-Fu World Champion | | Join Date: Oct 2003 Location: Oxford, Ohio (Near Cincy) | | | The following albums:
Live - Mental Jewelry
Metallica - Kill 'Em All
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magic
Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast
Stanley Clarke - School Days
Stu Hamm - Radio Free Albemuth
I literally learned how to play bass by playing those albums from front to back a million times. Of all those, I would honestly have to say I learned the most from Live's Mental Jewelry album. Such a variety of styles on that album. Of course Stanley and Stu are much harder, but in my early days of learning, I really gleaned a lot from the Live album. |

| | | | Pretty much every Rush album and concert I've ever bought/gone to. (Geddy Lee is my all time bass hero)
Playing a Christmas jazz/swing/big band concert with an incredible jazz saxophonist.
Various chorus and band instructors over the past couple of years.
Playing in church.
The simple, yet sophisticated and rich bass playing of Sting with the Police.
Myself. (self taught.)

but really such a nonsequiteur. If I don't learn something new about bass playing it hasn't been much of a session.
