I'm not a musician, and joked for the first 65 years of my life that I was born with two left ears. But I bought a piano at 65 yoa (like my Mom did) and I'm a music nerd ever since. The one thing that helped me most was learning the Rule of the Octave. Now I want to learn Thoroughbass. My piano teacher is very supportive, and I asked him about buying a 3/4 bass today to go along with my tenor and baritone ukulele. I have a shoulder problem (FURS Syndrome) so a regular bass would be too large. I like your videos and have subbed, and hope to see all your videos. Merci beaucoup.

Outstanding, Ryan. Really important things to keep in mind. Cheers!

Listen, play, listen, play, rinse, repeat. So key to success. One thing I have learned from Ryan and others is to always be engaged in active listening then pick up your instrument

I've been playing in working bands since the late eighties. Nothing like playing in a real band in front of people. Conversely, I've only just discovered backing tracks and garage band and re recording bass tracks from songs that I've stripped the bass out of. I find it to be one of the coolest and funnest things I've ever done.

Really good take on backing tracks, thank you Ryan. I love software like Band in a Box for grabbing a quick sketch of an idea. But yes, there’s nothing like playing along to your favourite artist and seeing how close you can get to what they do!

I've started looking for RU-vid videos of simple songs in which the bass line can't be heard (e.g. cover of a CCR tune). I then try coming up with a bass line that works. This brings up some of the challenges Ryan mentions, like what to play while someone is taking a solo. As Ryan says, you don't get challenged in that way playing along to a backing track.

Absolutely great info, for those who want to take their bass playing to new levels, as well has understanding your roll as the bass player. This will help in knowing when to play and when not to play in order to let the music breathe and understand your sonic footprint, in the piece of music you are performing. IMO there is nothing like playing with live musicians, to work on the creative process of being a bass player and bring the groove while maintaining the pocket :) I will also add knowing when to drive the band and when to hold back which you can only get from playing with people.

Fantastic! I agree improvisational playing should be prt of your practice routine - applying what you have learned. 🎉

I have been using Moises to help me listen to the band and/or the different parts of a song and eventually, subtract the bass and play with the band.

SOUNDS NICE MERRY CHRISTMAS

I have been using Moises to play along with. I put in an MP3 of a song I want to learn and the AI separates the tracks which can be muted or soloed. Tinnitus makes it difficult for me to pick out the bass parts but soloing the track is a game changer. After I learn the songs I mute the bass and play along.

Awesome take on Backing Tracks and really good advice on just listening. I use wikilloops tracks to practice. Done by real people. Helps with everything you discussed here.
