Welcome to LGM bassbaby!!! It's good to see more and more sistahs joining on the low end of the board
I don't know how new you are with the bass. Do you have anything specific you need advice on?? There's plenty that has been posted over the years on this board. If you do a search on some specific keywords you would most-likely find your answer. Here is a bit of advice to start you off:
* do daily finger exercises ... to train alll your fingers (including miss pinky) ... the Bass Fitness book has tons of these exercises
* use a metronome when practicing
* learn your scales ... know your fretboard
* watch uriah's videos lessons on this site:
http://www.learngospelmusic.com/bass/video.php* be on the look-out for sheds (jam sessons) in your area ... you're in DC and they have plenty between there and Baltimore ... when I hear of them, I post it here ... check the dummer forum too. I've been to ones in Lanham & Baltimore. Warning: Be sure to be well rested cause it's an all night thing
... Whether you play there or not, it's great motivation to grow to the next level of your playing ... of course, you also get to network with other local church musicians and musicians that play for gospel artists
* check out activebass.com for plenty, plenty of exercises/lessons
