Frustrated with your bass playing? It’s not you. Learning bass online is hard, because most online bass learning sucks. I’ll explain: It’s easy to make quick progress when you first start studying the bass online. But pretty soon most bass players hit what I call “the pit of despair”. You’ve done all the easy stuff, so your progress slows....waaaaay....dooooown. In fact, it can be tough to tell whether *you’re getting better at all*, or whether you’re just wasting time or “spinning your wheels”.

Forget about fame, ego, and reputation... it's all about serving THE SONG. In this short lesson, the legendary Darryl Jones (bassist for The Rolling Stones, Sting, and Miles Davis) will share an essential piece of advice that EVERY musician should learn. This clip is part of Darryl's SBL interview, available on the SBL website. As always, see you in the shed... | ScottsBassLessons.com
