I been playing bass for a few years and Ive learned my scales,practiced hard on my technique,fingering, but what I am learning now is that I am using my instrument too much. Now after a private study with an awesome instructor I am learning to use my voice as the instrument and the bass as my reference point. My hearing has improved,I am hearing intervals, Knowing the key when I hear it, actually playing the whole song in the right key!!!(I am stoked right now) This is where I am at in my studies. What about you guys?
