What happens to you when you’re trying to follow along to a song you don’t really know?

You’re listening intently, hanging on for dear life, hoping against hope that the next note you hit will be the right one.

You know that feeling?

Fortunately, there’s an easier way. A better way than… just hoping.

I explain it all in this week’s video.

It’s a technique I’ve used to help thousands of people save face, build confidence, and make playing bass infinitely more fun.

Check it out, then leave a comment below with your takeaways. I’d love to hear from you.

Let’s play bass!
