In order to improve my mediocre bass playing skills, I decided to undertake a 100 day/ 100 hour practice challenge! (My next kit, a custom V bass should arrive at the end of this challenge.) It’s been about 3 weeks and so far I’ve logged 42 hrs and 40 minutes of intense practice/learning. (The goal is at least 1 hr per day so I’m ahead of schedule.)
No noodling, no playing old easy stuff counts - only serious discipline with exercises and a metronome and max effort to improve. My workbench is almost ready for the next build so while I wait for my kit to arrive, I’m hitting the bass instructional book, “Extreme Metal Bass”. I’m almost finished with the book but when I do, it’ll be repetition, repetition, repetition because the material is somewhat hard to play at full tempo.
Oh, and my Pit Bull EX-5 is what I’m playing throughout this quest! It’s starting to feel as comfortable as an old shoe!
