I really wish I could find someone who could teach me how to better myself with bass in exchange for.......(hehe.sorry)
Practice, first of all. Also, learn songs from different styles of music, not just from your favorite artists (I take it you like Manson, eh?). Variety is very good. You might learn lots of new tricks, even if you never use some of them. If you're taking lessons, listen to your teacher. Learning scales and theory is a plus. If you know any fingering exercises (fretboard and plucking hands) they'll help you get faster and mor flexible. This is all basic stuff that you may already know and do, but I hope it helps. I'll take my payment now.
Does anybody know where I can learn these without having lessons?(i.e. the internet.) I'm most likley going to get a teacher in or around January because I can't really afford one right now. I have to wait for my birthday because that's what my mommy (yes, I still call her that sometimes)is going to get me. So, in conclusion, I have to wait so I'm trying to teach myself everything that I possobly can. Unless someone wants to exchange lessons for sauerkraut and carrots?????
I already have suerkraut (sp?) carrots, and pizza..... How about a new bass? Nothing is better than a real teacher since its a two way thing where the teacher see's what you need work on and can help you better. Peace Nick
