ESSENTIAL SECRETS |
 |
| SECRET 73: DO SOMETHING EVERY DAY Getting Started Is Half the Battle Every now and then you’ll have a day when you can’t think of anything you want to play. Picking up the bass won’t sound enticing, and you’ll think of other things you should be doing instead. If you can just get yourself to play one of your favorite bass grooves, you’ll be in for a pleasant surprise. Often, just the process of getting started makes you forget your negative thinking and enjoy yourself. There will be times you won’t enjoy practicing. That’s okay. It’s not realistic to think you’ll have fun every time. You can’t let negative thoughts get in your way. Plan a specific time you’ll practice and make sure you practice at that time. It doesn’t matter if you want to or not. (Read more) SECRET 74: KEEP YOUR BASS WHERE YOU CAN SEE IT Having a Constant Incentive to Practice How quickly can you start playing your bass? If it takes you five or ten minutes just to set up, you need to make some big changes to encourage yourself to play more often. An easy solution to this dilemma is to keep your instrument out at all times. Don’t waste time having to pull the case out of the closet, get the bass out of the case, and tune up. If your instrument is already propped up on a guitar stand, you can pick it up now and then as you walk by and quickly make some music. Playing for just a couple minutes can be a fun opportunity to play something you love, is a great way to work on one new item, and gives you the chance for a quick review of what you’ve learned recently.
