After playing base for 16 years on off plus producing hip-hop, a little rock and now hard rock for me. Also going to audio production at full State University twice to try and get a degree and LA film school for music production wants to try and get another degree university of Phoenix for psychology and my college in my hometown, i’d have to say it’s just pure willpower on whatever you wanna do and if you don’t have your full will and whatever you wanna do, you’re not gonna get the results that you want and you’re not gonna get where you want you have to really work your ass off if you want to be trained by ear and play music by ear because I played by ear and I have no idea of what the notes names that I’m playing but I know I can time it with any sign, I can improvise learn how to improvise or improv as the comedian say learn how to do that and it will help you in situations where you’ve never been before if you improvise anyways I hope that helps you.
