5 WORST Mistakes Beginner Bassists Make!

As a beginner bassist, I made a lot of mistakes. This was really frustrating but looking back now I can pinpoint 5 specific lessons that would've made all the difference to my playing had I learned them as a beginner. Next Video: Learn Music Theory - How It Will Change Your Career Forever...    • Why You Must Learn Music Theory...   So what are these lessons? What tips do I wish I learned when I was a beginner? 1. Learn Music Theory When I first started, I totally neglected music theory. Of all the bass mistakes beginners make, this is a big one. Because I was just learning to play songs along to records at home, I figured it didn't matter if I understood what I was playing, what scales I was using or even what notes I was playing. I'd hit a brick wall. There was no escaping the fact that music theory was something I simply HAD to learn. Once I got over the embarrassment of not being able to participate in the class I took it upon myself to get to grips with theory and once I did, it blew my mind. I learned scale formulas. I understood why it's so important for the bass to be a foundation so I played better in bands. In short, my musical life was greatly enhanced by learning theory. But there's an important caveat to this point which we'll explore in tip two. 2. Play Completely By Ear When I was a kid, the way I learned songs was from getting free TABS off the internet. Whilst I was able to learn songs this way, I totally neglected the development of my ears in the process. This lack of ear training lead to problems later in my learning too as I struggled to write songs, riffs and play the ideas I heard in my head. How can I say that beginners should learn theory but then also go on to say they should dispense with it and trust their ears? This was something that I felt as a beginner too. No doubt, I needed to know theory but playing but ear was something that I grew to enjoy. It became the reason I would actually pick up the bass. As a beginner, this created a conflict of interest for me. There were things I wanted to know and things I needed to know. And as the next two tips show, balancing these two needs would be very difficult. 3. Develop Your Technique This is one of the most common bass mistakes out there. When I first started out not only was my technique awful but I actively avoided the advice I got from my teacher. When he said "keep your wrists straight" or "don't slouch forward" I ignored him. I always said "I have a technique that works for me". After all, I could play my favorite songs. And surely being able to play was more important than my wrist angle? Now it was true that my technique did (sort of) work for me.... that was until my technique stopped working for me. That's right, soon enough my bent wrists and slouching shoulders resulted in an injury. And a bad one too. I was forced to rethink the way I played. However, the technique practice was far from inspiring and a lot of the time, this lack of inspiration lead me into another mistake. I'd skip practice. Which gets us to point four. 4. Build A Practice Habit Here we encounter a fresh conflict of interest. When I was a beginner I was told that the best way to make sure you come back to the instrument to practice is to work on material that excites you. But here's the problem. What do you do if you need to practice something regularly that doesn't excite you? There's no doubt I found my technique practice boring but I needed to work on it every day to make good technique one of my playing habits. What we need is some way of synthesizing these two opposites. We need a way of working that allows us to combine what we love and what we need. 5. Practice On The Job What do I mean by this? If you think about it, the only reason we learn great technique is to play real music. The reason we learn theory is to understand great music. And the reason we develop our ears is to help us engage on a much deeper level with the music we play. So why not use real music as a vehicle to practice both what we need and what we love? #beginnerbasslessons #beginnerbassmistakes #beginnerbasstips Subscribe: https://bit.ly/3h8oPWt LinkTree: http://bit.ly/basslinks Join The Bass Players Study Group for weekly exercise PDF's and live Q&A's with me: https://onlinebassguitar.krtra.com/t/...
