Struggling to know what to play if you only have 5 minutes to play your bass?
The tips in this lesson will help you to build a life changing-practice habit.
This is a follow up to this lesson:
Here's what I'll be teaching you in the video:
- Play a few Bass lines you already know (this will always be changing)
- Figure out a bass line/chord progression
- Work on an impossible technique you'll never use (go beyond what you'll ever need to do and the 'normal' becomes easy)
- Play along to your favourite song
- Chord/scale relationships
- Work on a technique you don't normally use (e.g. plectrum technique)
