Travis, I have been watching your videos for a minute now and you are absolutely right! I am a home dialysis patient (10 hrs a night, Every night) . I used to gig fairly regularly but lost time due to my illness. Now I spilt between treatment and my 5 yr old who is autistic! I wanted to get back to practice but my time is so consumed! If I am not dealing with my child, I am running the wife around town. Your advice seem like it could work for me as well! I will try and schedule it and get back to you on it! Thank you, Dale
Good suggestions. Also if you are playing every week live at church you should see yourself as a professional. We shouldn’t take it lightly playing before any group of people especially going live online. 😃
The only way to actually get good at any instrument is yo play it with other instruments. Drum machines will help but its not the same. Piano and harp about the only things that dont need other instruments and thats because they can hit every single nit without having to stop and tune up or down
@@kckillakrack9714 While what you're saying is true, it's also not very accurate. Practicing by yourself is EXTREMELY important. And while yes, playing with people and gathering more and more experience from gigs and stuff is nice, it's also important to play on your own and fix your mistakes before going on stage
Thank you for these tips. I just found your channel yesterday. Right on time for me. I needed this. I want to learn the bass...started and then stopped. I don't feel motivated. I was motivated to learn drums. I was motivated to learn keys at an early age. I love how the bass sounds, but I find that I hit a wall in motivation. It's probably because I"m picking up the bass later in life and I have additional responsibilities (no excuse, just facts). I'm struggling a little with motivation. This video has helped me to find some motivation. Your personality and willingness to share from a genuine place is helpful to me. Thank you.
Thanks for your advice Travis! Glad to see that I’m on track to eventually turning this new hobby into something that could potentially be my career. I love music and playing it so definitely going to learn to focus and schedule my non interrupted practices where I challenge myself
Thanks for this. I'm stuck at what I feel is intermediate and I'm struggling to bring my speed up without sounding sloppy, especially after my shoulder injury.
Do you have any experience with other pedals (MXRs or the SansAmp)? I’m just curious if Tone Hammer is worth the extra $100-$150 over the other ones I listed.
@@joshuamckillop137 Yes, i did many years ago. I sat down with the sansamp and aguilar to see which I liked best. In the end I wanted the tone hammer since it sounded better to my ears and also picked up a sansamp VT bass pedal (non DI). The one thing I will say is that i never use the AGS setting on the tone hammer preamp. However together they sound amazing. I also use an EBS pedal for compression. Theres a few other pedals in the mix, most aguilar but its really the tone hammer/compression/sansamp that has been my go to for all these years. Lemme know if you have any questions :)
Another great tip is to know what you’re practicing before you actually start, so you can take better advantage of your practice time and not spend a part of it deciding what you’re going to do
Please cover brigther day from kirk franklin,.. i want to copy what you will do with that 😁,.. because i always copied what you play 😁,.. i did the same things like you do to copy another pro bassist. this my new email. Actually i already subcribed your channel with my other email from 2 years ago when you cover love theory by kirk franklin. It was no such a great things you did to that music before and after till this day though. 😁💪💪💪
playing a instrument is first no competition thing its something sacred a communication instrument healing its something were the cosmos the univers earth you and the spirits communicate trough you its radiate love joy dancing funn
I appreciate you brother! And I've probably been playing since you were crawling on the floor in diapers. Music is so cool because we can all learn from each other. Rock on Sir!

Do you have any experience with other pedals (MXRs or the SansAmp)?
