Creating a better plan for learning bass (and music).


Recommended Posts

I want to create a plan for learning bass, and music. 

 

I see that I have a habit of playing what I already know, and giving up on the difficult stuff.

 

What I want is a schedule for learning, along with techniques and habits. 

 

I recently found an add-on for the Chrome browser that allows me to slow down YouTube music and change the pitch, and loop sections. 

 

That has allowed me to slow down Good Times by Chic, and move from 60 to 70 to 80% and play the dots under the A13 chord. Next step, 83%, and so on...

 

I primarily want to learn to read music - I am improving, but want to be able to do it accurately and consistently. 

 

Is there such a thing as a practice schedule that I could use? 

 

What sort of things should I include?

 

Ear training? Music theory? Warm ups? 

 

I play mainly in church (where the ability to play the root notes in the keys of G, C, and A are enough to pass the audition, but not enough to sustain my interest).

 

In a moment, I will share what I can play, and what I struggle with....
