Hello Sonny_NL,

Welcome to bass MTP. This will be your thread in which we'll communicate.
I will post weekly assignments on Wednesday's here.

For start I want you to write me a short CV about you - your playing level/experience, styles, preferences, what do you with to learn etc...

This bass mtp will be in a "bass course" form and we'll cover lots of topics ranging from technique to improvisation.

Have fun! biggrin.gif

Heyy bogdan! biggrin.gif

thank you for this assignement!
today i have played for like 40 minutes this exercise and its going good.
ill started as u said at 60 bpm with quarter notes everything went fine.
i decided to go 100bpm and i feeled comfortable with that tempo.
for the last tempo today i did 120bpm quarter notes.
and all went fine!

but i have 1 question. is it better to do all the different exercices at 1 time and do them all at the same time a tempo up.
ore an exercire a day?

soon ill be posting something of myn progress.
i am not sure if video going to work but soon ill have video so i can uploud audio file with video!

Hello Sonny,

I'm glad to hear that you are practicing and that is going well. Tell me , are you following all the rules - right hand strict alternating and thumb rest position following on one string above each string you play? All 3 points of the exercise are valuable.

Its a good question about how to practice them. I would approach them them like this:

There are 6 exercise patterns in total.

Play 1 pattern starting from 60bpm (first quarter notes, latter on as you get comfortable you can switch to 8th notes when starting). Play exercise all the way up the 12th fret on 60bpm (quarter or eight notes whichever you chose). Once you play it with no problem on that tempo and all the way up to 12th fret - go 10/20 bpm higher. Repeat the exercise until you can play it without mistake all the way up the 12th fret. Go 10/20 bpm more. Once you end up on 120 bpm and play it perfectly there you can go on to the second exercise pattern and start over from 60bpm.
In one practice session you should be able to go through all the exercises and you will instantly feel the difference.

You could alternatively do 1 exercise per day that is good when beginning too. Later on its good to add diversity into practice session so multiple exercises are welcome.

On very important thing I have to tell you is : don't make jumps in tempo!
10/20 bpm at a time is MAX. And on higher tempos it has to be even smaller 1-3-5 bpm
Even if you are comfortable you shouldn't make jumps like 60>100. When you get more comfortable with an exercise you CAN move the starting point to 70-80 bpm but go from there. Some things are also hard to play slow and if you go to fast tempo too early you can end up being sloppy on the part that you didn't practice really slow.

Good job so far , let me know your progress daily if possible and ask questions.

I would love to see a video of you playing the exercises so I can see your current level and technique but if you can't make it audio will do. For the december REC take you will need video though.

Cheers,
Bogdan
