well im sure some of you play instruments but never really found the place to show it off/talk about it
so here's the place to do so
i dunno i guess i wanted to make this thread cause playing instruments a pretty big part of my life and there are a lot of things to say on the subject so yeah
so yeah as some of you might know i play bass
i also do guitar and piano (mostly to compose things because beautiful 9th chords mmmmmm )
but yeah mostly bass and i play a lot of funk and jazz music so i slap a lot (if you don't know what slap bass is look it up man youre missing out)
i haven't been playing for that long (started guitar 6 years ago and moved on to bass 4 years ago) but i play about 1hour per day so yeah ive been getting better quite fast
to get technical, playing fast and complicated is not really much of a problem anymore for me, this past year ive been focalizing more on improv and phrasing
since ive never really looked up tabs or sheet music for anything my ear is really good (not to brag, really, but yeah i can play something i listen to almost instantly)
the biggest problem i have though is that some very talented bassists i know have told me my playing style is missing some groove because i play a teensy bit too early on the notes
personally i have no idea how to work on this and its been troubling me so yeah
