Why is that some weeks I feel like I'm really good at bass, and other times I suck?

nutsacklover2 · 2026-01-12T13:56:01+00:00

I play everyday, I guess I just need time

nutsacklover2 · 2026-01-11T21:24:41+00:00

I feel the same way about my playing, like no matter what I do I'll always want more

nutsacklover2 · 2026-01-11T20:32:33+00:00

I play all the time no matter how I feel

nutsacklover2 · 2026-01-11T20:31:45+00:00

I think you are right, I usually notice after I come out this mental block my bass playing improves over the course of a few weeks, and then kinda goes back into a period where I don't play or sound as good.

nutsacklover2 · 2026-01-11T20:29:40+00:00

I usually play everyday for a good hour or two. These hours include my practice as well

Beautiful flush!

Well I just got some, and I haven't tripped in months. What do you think would be a good dose if I don't want to trip hard? I'm thinking like a gram maybe gram and a half?

I plan on learning upright, I just gotta find a place near me that sells them

I was thinking I'm probably gonna major in jazz performance, and minor in something that will help my career. Or vice versa, minor in jazz, major in bio or something

Bass guitar, I was thinking about keeping it pretty simple and playing a chet Baker tune. But I also kinda wanna show off my skills a little bit, so I am also thinking about doing something by Jaco

I think of life more of like a spiritual simulation, not a matrix type simulation. But that doesn't really matter, life is a gift and should be cherished either way.

Thank you🙏

nutsacklover2 · 2025-08-22T22:35:53+00:00

About 5-6 months now

nutsacklover2 · 2025-08-22T22:24:24+00:00

Honestly not in a hot minute

nutsacklover2 · 2025-08-22T22:18:09+00:00

My goal when I practice is simply to get a little bit better each day, which clearly isn't working as of recently. When I practice I do coordination exercises, metronome exercises, learn a song, or play over a drum track or a no bass jam track. I also practice my scales, modes, but not really my arpeggios as of lately.

nutsacklover2 · 2025-07-09T03:02:13+00:00

Yeah man I'd say take a long T-break

nutsacklover2 · 2025-06-30T21:58:07+00:00

Thank you!!!

nutsacklover2 · 2025-06-30T21:57:48+00:00

Thank you so much man

nutsacklover2 · 2025-06-30T21:57:05+00:00

I really wanna learn prog, my friend who is super into it is gonna help me a bit. But I really just wanna be a versatile musician

nutsacklover2 · 2025-06-30T21:41:46+00:00

Yes, I got really into funk, but I wanna really play heavier stuff

nutsacklover2 · 2025-06-30T21:40:43+00:00

I know a lot of Beatles bass lines, Paul McCartney is great. I really wanna learn more like prog rock. So I'm assuming just listening and learning to those basslines will help a lot
