Play Bass Faster Using Science

[greghagger]

I watched an enlightening video the other week by scientist and musician, Dr Molly Gebrian, about the science that happens in the brain as we learn new tasks. 

 

The relevance to us bass players is how we can use this science to: 

 

✅ speed up learning new material

✅ help eradicate mistakes 

✅ play faster and with greater accuracy

 

I'm sure that you'd like to improve on all three of the above points, I know that I would!

 

In my latest YouTube video, I've summarised some of Dr Gebrian's ideas and used them to demonstrate how we can learn a technical exercise.

 

This is really interesting stuff that will help you to practice efficient, saving you a lot of wasted time in the long run.

Yes, I have been reading her book, which is scientifically researched and all makes very good sense. She is even generous enough to provide a free PDF with all of her advice from the chapters. On her website

Great! I’ve just brought the book too. I’ll have a look for the PDFs. Thanks

Excellent book which have changed my way of practice, more efficient during the same practice time.

Hey bro, thank you for providing this video. I’d been told this many times, but never believed it. Now I see the science, and application, I’m all on board going forward.
