Getting Serious

Hello,
My name is Al and I am a self taught Bass Player and have been playing at home for a few years. I am taking a more serious and theoretical approach to my Bass playing. I am studying music keys one by one. I am currently studying the key of B. What are some good beginner / intermediate level Jazz, R&B, and Gospel songs I can use as study material? Thanks.
 
Hey Al,

I recommend that you study ALL of the keys equally. And you don't need to use songs to study what it is you need to know. You'll use that informations afterwards to analyze songs. Email me and i'll give you my number so you can call me. I'll give you the approach that I use. But,...it's best if you have a 'good' teacher showing you. And I emphasize the word good because most music teachers aren't good or qualified.
