[quote name='valentine' post='276407' date='Sep 3 2008, 06:21 PM']okay thanks for the advice, i know my basic scale patterns anyway,i will spend lil bit of time on the theory maybe 15mins a day ,i just hate doing theory,im the kind of person who gerts the playstation out the box and learns about it as i go along rather than read the instructions[/quote]
15 minutes a day is best! as long as you stick to it that is
Best is to learn your basic scales (major / minor / pentatonic major/minor/blues) ánd try to learn a bit about chords.
easiest way to do this is to get a keyboard and just learn what exactly changes when you turn a C chord into a C7b9add13 (to go to the max). It may not seem like it but once you know this on the piano you will pick this up on bass VERY easily (which is THE reason you have to learn how to play the piano at Music College)
