experience

[kevbass5]

K, so

alot of what is being talked about here has to do with the actual experience of playing with other musicians.

What are some things, general or specific, that someone should pay attention to or work on when they are in a real playing situation, that would allow them to get the most out of that experience?

Sorry to interject even though I'm not Justin, but the mere act of listening to everyone else as much as possible has always worked for me.

Groove.

Other people's time and where they place the beat.

Your role as the crossroads of harmony and rhythm.

How your lines enhance/inhibit the vocals.

WHere's the kick drum at?

Does your tone work well with the guitarist's tone?

etc.
