Back to School, part 2

i just opened my copy of The Next Level Bassist from Rannan Meyer today and was blown away with the amount of info from Rufus Reid and David Allen Moore on one of my favorite topics:

PRACTICING!

check it out here-http://www.ranaanmeyerentertainment.com/#!the-next-level-bassist/c1po3

yes, you'll have to subscribe, but it is free and he doesn't send out any thing besides these issues.

I was reminded by a great example in David Moore's article one of the chief reasons I keep practicing- to get through those plateau times  He has a the analogy of learning to do splits.  You get into the position as best you can, and support yourself with telephone books.  Each day you rip one page out of the top book.  That can be the same for practicing.  Some days you just won't see gobs of progress but keep at it.  Do your daily practice as a way of "ripping that page" and getting you closer to your goal.

Happy practicing!
