These Bass Players are but a few, there are many more
out there. You should keep an open mind when it comes to different genres and styles of music. Try to get inspiration
and not be influenced. Creativity and inspiration are very similar. A fine line separates them, having an open
mind and not afraid to go there! Take the chance and
not play it safe. Also look for inspiration outside of music.
A final note, there are many techniques out there, but
remember you want to turn your technique into music.
Your goal is to be a musician not a technician!
Every thing you play, make it Musical, even boring scales
can sound beautiful.
"Keep Practicing, Practicing, Practicing!!!!!"
