If You Want TO Play Bass Fast You've Got to Learn Slow

There are fast and/or complex bass tunes that we ALL want to learn to play. If you're into rock it might by YYZ by Rush. If you're into Motown it might be something like Home Cooking which has got a killer Jamerson bass line. If finger funk is your bag it might be Credit by Tower of Power. Or something by Stanley Clarke.sbobetOr Victor Wooten. Or Billy Sheehan. Or anyone of dozens of the top bass players.Here's how most players set about learning these tunes. They find a transcription or a tab of the tune and they'll start trying to put it together. Then they'll make a fatal mistake - they'll start trying to play the bits of the tune that they've been working on at the song's performance tempo, or close to it.Why is this a fatal mistake?This is a fatal mistake because it doesn't take advantage of how the brain learns best. Because if you've only played it a few times then your brain hasn't actually learned how to play the tune yet.And that's why most players who do this will make lots of mistakes.sbobet asia Their fingers will trip over each other, they'll struggle to execute the passages cleanly and correctly at tempo. It will just sound a mess. There are two options if you're in this situation: you can give up in frustration or you can find another way to learn the piece of music you want to learn.If this alternative method takes advantage of how the brain learns best, well that would be good.So how does the brain learn best?When we want to learn something new the central processor part of the brain has to send messages to other parts of the brain instructing them in what they should be doing. And the brain sends these messages by electrical pulses that literally jump from neuron to neuron. And lot of the brain's available processor energy is taking up in doing this neuron dance.But here's the thing - the more the brain sends the same - or very similar - set of messages the amount of energy needed to send the message from neuron to neuron lessens.sbobet กีฬา ออนไลน์ คน It's as if a more solid path is created - and one that requires less processor energy to send the same message.This translates to the discipline of learning something in the following manner: in the beginning it it difficult and awkward to grasp a new skill. With repeated practice it starts to come more naturally. With more repeated practice you can progress to competence. And beyond if you want to.And this is how the brain learns.How can we apply this to learning a fast and/or complex tune on the bass?The first thing you have to do is slow everything down. You have to play through the complex piece of music slowly enough so that you can be sure you're playing it as perfectly as possible. And then you need to repeat it over and over, so that your brain truly learns how to play it.When you can play this complex or fast piece of music flawlessly at a slow tempo, that's the time that you can start thinking about increasing the tempo.ibcbet ทาง เข้า But only by a fraction so that you can still play it flawlessly.The Repetitions Is What Makes This Work.The repeated repetitions solidifies the neural path that the brain creates for this particular task. As you repeat the task the learning becomes ingrained on the brain. Think of skills or activities that you have done multiple times to the point of being able to do it subconsciously - driving a car, reading, writing, walking. This is the method you used to learn those activities - though you weren't aware of it at the time.The Mistake Most Players Make When They Try And Use this Technique.I've personally taught this technique a bunch of times to students around the world. And they all make the same mistake - despite being told that they will make it. And that is that their 'slow tempo' the tempo that they start it as always too fast. And usually it's way too fast.sbobetIf you want more bass related info, head over to my how to play bass website where you'll find video lessons, articles, reviews and much more.
