Here's the latest in a series of free tips from performance coach/bassist David Motto and his ebook, THE 10-MINUTE BASS VIRTUOSO: An Insider's Guide to Transforming Your Bass Playing in Ten Minutes a Day. |

Taking Control of Your Feelings
Some musicians are lucky. They never get nervous before a performance. Everyone else

the time available for its completion.” Translation? It could take you forever to master the
music. So, set a deadline right now.
The best type of deadline is a performance or audition.
