Marching Mocs

Family Music

Going through music school for a short period of time learning primarily music theory early in my life, I didn’t get much of the actual bass training that I wanted. This led me to self-taught books and expensive one on one bass teacher for the longest time. I spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on this sort of thing. You have to remember back in the 80′s and early 90′s that’s pretty much all there was. There was no Internet. Later on, I had a family and my bass playing had to go on the back burner for a while. One day we took a trip to Tom Lee Music and one of my sons showed an interest in playing guitar, on one of those 3/4 mini Fender Stats. My son and me love to jam to songs together him on guitar and me on bass. We don’t need a drummer, because they are hard to find so we, researched the Internet to resolve our problem. Whether the instrument is a guitar or a harp, music brings family together. You don’t have to spend a lot of money on an instrument. Think of the times your camping, and wouldn’t it be nice to play and sing around the fire, yes it would! If you are more serious about learning timing with other band member, like a drummer then you need something else to imitate that drummer with out the loud sound.

Music Together

We found a software product called quick beat. It was the next best thing I used to using a real drummer. It sure helped me groove, and it made playing alot more  fun. It also helps my son get better with his timing. It was not expensive at all. And I got a lot for my money. Family Music Well this sparked an interest in me to learn bass more and to take my bass playing more serious and to take it to the next couple levels. It’s too much fun playing in front of people. I took good advice of other excellent young aspiring, as well as and more seasoned bass players; they introduced me to Music Master Pro. It is definitely the best music learning system on the Internet, I really want you to be inspired and motivated about music playing, if your thinking about picking up an instrument for the first time, or if your a professional. Even as a professional you can get in a rut for years playing the same songs, same licks, and you never fully master the instrument.

This is the biggest limiting factor for a lot of guitarists/bassists, and Probably 95% us have this problem. There is the number of reason why we don’t, and for each us it’s different. A good reason why we don’t bother with mastering an instrument is the element of life; we have lives, so unpredictable things happen that take dominion over our instrument playing. They could be things like children, death in the family, divorce, and so on, right? So I want us to get on track with your playing bass because this is your time now. Go down to your local music store just browse, do what ever it takes to get that feeling of excitement and drive.
