- Follow along for a few minutes every day, then bookmark where you are in your practice log and return to the spot in your next practice session.
- If you feel “bored” you are not doing them correctly and are missing out on one of the fastest ways to improve your technique and playing – the point is to slow down and feel the nuances of your posture and resulting improvements in tone and timing.
- Focus on select details as I point them out in the videos or choose your own problem areas to focus on.
Why? Here, going slower gets you to your goal faster.
Treat them like a bass meditation and accelerate your learning.
