Any one plan on going this month (UK)? https://www.theguitarshow.co.uk

There are 2 key themes that I’ve seen again and again that hold back church bass players and church musicians in general. 1. A lack of foundational music theory. 2. They can’t hear the notes. There’s core pillars that make everything else make sense. When you have a solid understanding of the 12 intervals, the number system, the major scale and how they piece together to make chords and why some notes work in one setting and don’t in another, even though it’s the exact same chord, a whole world opens up in terms of understanding and playing options available to you. The funny thing is even ‘non theory’ players get this. They just have not learnt the terminology around it. Instead they have instinctively ‘felt’ it out through ‘using their ear’ through years of trial and error. The issue is being told to ‘just use your ear’ doesn’t actually help you if you’re already struggling. You don’t know what you’re listening for or how to translate it to your instrument and it leaves musicians stranded who could have very easily gone on to be accomplished serving musicians within their church organisation. Both of these are solvable and teachable. Where have you struggled the most and what have you done that’s helped?

Hey team, I need suggestions for bass lines to breakdown and tab out for you! Post the link to videos or songs you’d like me to breakdown some of the bass lines for here in the “transcribe this” tab. Make sure to give a specific timestamp as I’ll most likely only do a couple of bars of each.

So the Tears For Fears musical challenge is going round for Everybody Wants To Rule The World 🌍 It’s not gospel but the chord progression is! Hanging around the 4 chord and bouncing back from the 5. I’ll get a little 2 chord loop vamp uploaded. This is just a little snip from morning practice. I sometimes record just to capture ideas that I’ll refine later into something that sounds good 😂 Come up with some ideas, who knows, it might be useful for the May Kingdom Bass Games 👀🤝🏾

Hi, quick question with bass notes. Let's say the note progression will be like C G Am F, how can we spice it up a bit? Thanks in advance. 😊
