Thanks for the revelation that when trying to learn a bass piece is like learning someone's language they are fluent at.... don't rush and don't beat yourself up and get discouraged. Very helpful and encouraging advice! Just what I need to hear. Thank you. You got a new sub!

Wow! Just happened across this lesson. Great line thanks for helping me tap the brakes on everything I practice. I agree the ego can take where I don’t need to!

Thanks Tom. A timely reminder as I approach my Jaco homework.

He's back .... Just in time to read "Better Bass Practice' again!

Ha, I should probably read it again and take my own advice!

Spot on! These are great reminders. Thank you!

Thank You… for the framework and the final thoughts. Great piece of advises 🙏👍

Excellent lesson! It reminds me again of some of the best Bob Reynolds videos on practice, and also an interview I read about Yo-Yo Ma's practice routine for a new piece. Thanks for the content!

Great lesson thanks Tom!

Damn i wish i had a video like this, 5 years ago. As a self taught, these 4 concepts are the base line of my learning routine now, I slow things down, work my way up by making sure I have good intonation, good control over the sound, I take the time to listen to what i'm about to play, and now and then I also go back to have a listen again, I learn bits by bits like I divide things in phrases, and then put them together as I go on.. But 5 years ago none of that was obvious to me, so I had to learn everything the had way.. I really hope some new students will see this video and make great use of it

Love your lessons

Merci pour cette vidéo. Vous êtes vraiment un excellent pédagogue ! Bravo ! Avec beaucoup d humour, vous dites des choses essentielles. J ai retenu, entre autres, « jouer avec conviction »

Thanks Andrew, the strap is very old and held together with gaffa tape... It's a Comfort Strapp, you can buy them from Bass Direct here (I like mine short!): www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/comfort-strapp-pro-bass-series-strapps/
