Short sets of practice

[Kgveteran]

I find for myself that if i sit and try to cram a lesson or practice session too long i get stressed out and wipe out constantly.

On the other hand, if i do sets, like weight training, which i admit takes more time, i seem to enjoi practicing
More…..i’ll set my bass down and keep coming back for another set…

More seems to stick. Im playing for pure enjoyment, i have no plans to play “out” or learn songs for a “set list” so theres no hurry, and its all at my own pace which is nice.

oh, and i just started about 8-9months ago-ish

Do you play just for you ??

I played bass during study breaks when I was at university. I might do Ten sets of 5-10 minute bass sessions throughout the course of a day.

Extremely effective for both my uni study and bass playing IME.

Quality over quantity... I find myself accomplishing more with focused 30-min practice sessions than 2 hrs of mindless noodling.

I'm mainly a church bassist and play almost every weekend.

I do this regularly. If I'm learning a song I'll do more extended sessions but if I'm working on technique I think I practice more and get more from it in many shorter sessions.
