paranoid’s journey of learning music

Part 4

Now that I am back at it, I need help.  Finding a teaching isn’t really an option right now.  But I got the internet!!  I do a search and find this website:  http://www.studybass.com/.

Amazing!!!  To my surprise instead of telling me how to hold my bass, how to fret, how to pluck he points out different ways people play and what he found to be the most efficient.  This is just the opposite I would have imagined.  To my surprise, he doesn’t start off telling me to play scales!!!!  Also the opposite I would have imagined.  Now I am open and listening!!!

I could not stop reading this website!!!!  I would get to a point where I could not take anymore information in.  I would wait and just keep reading what I did get.  Suddenly the next piece that I was stuck on would CLICK!  Then again I would get to a point where I could not take anymore information in.  And then it would CLICK!  This happened several more times.

In such a short time my knowledge of music increased exponentially.  But I wanted to know more.  I have almost out grown the information that is there at the time of this written.  So I bought some books.  See my favorite books.  These have propelled my knowledge even further.

With what I have learned I can tell I have a LOT more to learn, besides practicing my bass playing.

If you are just starting with bass or haven’t really had lessons, check out http://www.studybass.com/.
