Myke Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Try a different type of music. If I ever get bored of playing bass I listen to a new type of music and jam along with that. I used to be into rock - def leppard, motley crue, iron maiden that kind of thing.Over a couple of weeks I stopped playing bass and listening to music completely as I was fed up with it. But I thought to myself, this is what I want to do, you can't stop so I picked up the bass and instead of playing along with rock songs I picked a genre I hated, at the time, Rap and played along with Eminem and NWA etc. and then from there I got into Hip-Hop and now I love all of that stuff and listen to it more than I do rock music. Hope it doesn't last too long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Cloud Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I put my bass away in a cupboard when I felt exactly like this back in the 90's (the music of that era just turned me off) and it stayed there for 7-8 years. I eventually was drawn back to it - I had lost my chops, but came "at it" from a different angle with a new approach, way of thinking and maturity. I believe that I am am a much better musician now. The matter of lessons is totally irrelevant. The core of musicianship comes from the realm of feel and emotion - not technique. You cannot help how you feel. Put the bass down for and walk away from it...until it calls you back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
