Is 30 minutes practice time enough?

[Groove Doctor]

well I want to have a home studio and record my own music and then promote and sell it through my own website. and also work online as a musician recording bass lines and songs for other musicians.

I also want to do this for guitar.

I play both guitar, bass & sing BV’s. I practiced 2-5 hours every single day - playing, transcribing, sight reading, singing, ear training, learning theory, writing songs, etc.

I had the skills, work ethic and professionalism to go pro. I decided to follow a career in Medicine instead. I play with exceptional players as a hobby in my spare time & I wouldn’t change a thing.

I think I can add Music Theory to my schedule pretty soon, I was thinking in about a month of playing. Anyone recommend a good book for that?

Ariane Cap’s “Music Theory for the Bass Player” is a good one.

Instrument practice is a bit like sex.

You can achieve a lot in a short space of time if you know what you're doing.

I tend to give these 'characters' a wide berth as I can't cope with more than a few milli-seconds of the 'schtick'. It might be that I am missing out on some or other nugget of bass wisdom, but from what I've seen of them, I very much doubt it.

YMMV

I an confirm you're not missing out on anything, Steve.
