How Often Do You Do it?

[Hues]

Not counting periods when you may have stopped playing for years or months,....About how often do you work on/learn new music?

-One or Two songs/pieces a month
-One or two a week
-Constantly.No breaks....Your songlist never stops growing.

 

[TheBiancaZed]

I mainly play around and memorise riffs, but my band and I do one or two pieces per month.

 

[Gluvhand]

One or two a week. Probably be more if life and playing hockey didn't get in the way. If I ever find a band I'll kick it up.

 

[Gaolee]

It depends. Sometimes I learn two or three or more in one night. Sometimes learning new songs isn't on the agenda. Lately, I have been mostly working on technique when I have time to play on my own.

Crap. I am so exhausted these days. I barely even work on stuff, it seems I am content with noodling. I don't even know how I'm managing to play half decently in the bands I'm in.

 

[StyleOverShow]

Bought the Ditto Looper X2 and now my practice time, daily at least 40 mins, is mostly playing with that pedal.

Just put up some "New Music" at Invalid Link Removed

 

[Hues]

Just to clarify....By 'New Music', I mean new to you. Be it an old Led Zepp or a more modern Clay Aiken mega-classic, or your own originals.

 

[Funk$tar]

I usually learn the main bass line of multiple songs in one day then try to work on one song from one of the bass lines I learned the next day then do the same for the rest the next preceding days until I have learned all those songs. Then I'll do it again, sorry if I confused you haha I am quite unorganized! But hey it's my method of learning songs and it's helped me out so far!

 

[Marial]

I work on my own stuff several times a week, even if it's only for five or ten minutes. I'm also learning a set for a fill-in gig and I'll probably spend a couple of hours on that Friday evening and again on Saturday before I have full-band rehearsal on Sunday.

I've been doing it long enough and often enough that I wear glasses now! But I am getting faster and a lot less sloppy. In fact I've pretty much gotten to the point that I don't even need anything to to look at, my imagination kinda takes over and before you know it I'm really rockin!
We are talking about bass playing, right?
