chris_b Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Life happens. Bands come and go. It's no one's fault, but it is your fault if you put all your eggs in one basket and get left high and dry. Everyone should be in at least 2 bands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 If you are going to use a band finder internet site make sure your ad is very specific about you want both musically and in in terms of commitment. Alternatively stalk your favourite local bands on social media, as you never know when they might suddenly require a replacement bass player. Both of these approaches have worked for me.

I tend to replace any form of understanding/ talent by hard work so I am ok with what I know but beyond that if it comes to improvisation or different keys I am relegated to root notes and few twiddles here and there to fill in! Perhaps, I should fill the gap with some lessons 😂 That's called "being a pocket player" when you're putting it on your CV. As long as you hit the chord on time you can have an entire career in rock music not venturing out of the root-fifth-octave box. Never a bad idea to want to learn more, but nobody was born instantly knowing this stuff - they had to put the hard work in exactly the same as you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
