I think a very important aspect of practicing the bass guitar that is often overlooked is the way you hold the instrument when you practice. Debates on exactly how high or low you should position the bass I’ll save for another post. The main point of this post is to suggest that however you decide to position your instrument, that you practice your bass in the same way you plan to perform on it. I believe that the more consistent you are with this, the quicker the internalization of the muscle memory. The following video addresses this idea directly. Practice method is one of the fundamentals I teach. For personalized coaching on building consistent practice habits, online bass lessons via Zoom are available.
