Really, I believe I should keep this post updated for newcomers to see how it's like to going up the ladder on music!

From my first post on Jun 20 till now, I was begginer(still am) that after watching Beck (the anime) with my friends we decided to buy gear! I mocked them but after2 months I bought a bass too(for my own reasons). They stopped learning after 1 month but I continued, I like it.

Now, yesterday was my 4th gig (and best of all) at a venue that usually plays latin and jazz but we came we rocked and left!
Our playlist consinsts mostly from the 60's and 70's and not from so much know songs, garage-punk-blues. The feeling we give is definitely Stooges(mostly to our singer) and so we have many songs from them and Iggy. You can listen ofcourse some songs from rehersals on our http://www.myspace.com/nakedlemons and give me your feedback.

Ofcourse I had a stage fear but overcame it, ofcourse I made mistakes on stage but I learned from them and now I fear one thing.

The new basslines.... they will be needed when we will write our own songs and I wan't to give the best of them but afraid of overdoing it.

But all that counts it's the chemistry of the band and above all having fun :o]]> Bass Players Discussion Vangelis https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/a-bass-player-needs-to-take-a-first-step-courage-anyone/paged/2/#post-282025 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/a-bass-player-needs-to-take-a-first-step-courage-anyone/paged/2/#post-271039 Tue, 13 Nov 2007 23:23:35 +0000 Bass Players Discussion corbind https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/a-bass-player-needs-to-take-a-first-step-courage-anyone/paged/2/#post-271039 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/a-bass-player-needs-to-take-a-first-step-courage-anyone/#post-267135 Mon, 08 Oct 2007 13:31:29 +0000

Jamming with people will open you up like nothing before - even if it's not your preferred style!

Once you find your groove, things should start falling into place for you. And some simple 12 bar blues should be just the ticket for you. Depending on the arrangement and attitude, it should allow for you to express yourself a bit, once you get comfortable. Who knows, maybe they wanted some 16ths all along, and just didn't know it... :twisted:

Run with it, and have a great time - thats what it's all about! The worst that they can tell you is.. "uh, stop that dude."

I went to meet the drummer of one band here were they are searching for a bassist. I listened to their recorded music,talk about their targets he gave me their playlist.
I'm going to jam with them this Wednesday, and learn 2 songs to play with the whole band this weekend.

Oh! I forgot.. they are playing '60s & '70s rock and blues. I really never played that kind of music but I want to really try and widen my music horizons.
I think I have to study some 12 bar blues tonight and be ready for the jam tomorrow, they won't appreciate any 16ths C on A (!)

wheeww..!]]> Bass Players Discussion Vangelis https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/a-bass-player-needs-to-take-a-first-step-courage-anyone/#post-254938 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/a-bass-player-needs-to-take-a-first-step-courage-anyone/#post-251629 Mon, 02 Jul 2007 02:56:57 +0000
It can't be said enough. Whether you are playing with other bassists, or guitarists, or drummers, or any combination, your playing will improve.

I've jammed on guitar with other people several times. I just did some jamming on bass with someone else for the first time today. It was funny, I was nervous, even though I'm not nervous jamming on guitar. It turned out really well, and I'm even going to record some bass for the guy I was jamming with for his originals!

Also, knowing that I'm going to be playing with other people makes me practice more, b/c I want to be good when I do.]]> Bass Players Discussion redneckrocker https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/a-bass-player-needs-to-take-a-first-step-courage-anyone/#post-251629 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/a-bass-player-needs-to-take-a-first-step-courage-anyone/#post-250410 Tue, 26 Jun 2007 18:27:53 +0000
You have come far in 1.5 years. Keep practicing, jamming and above all - having fun.
