*Making time for practice*
You don’t have to devote every waking moment of your day to learning how to play the bass guitar. In the beginning, it’s
important to set a regular practice time and stick to it, even if it’s for only a brief time. Try setting aside 20 minutes at first
every day to go over the basics of the bass guitar. Pretty soon, you can expand it to half an hour spent warming up, reviewing
those basics, and learning new material. Pretty soon, you could be up to an hour or more of serious practice time. Your play-
ing will improve with the more time you spend practicing; however, it’s important at first to get into the habit of practicing.
Habits are hard to break, but the creation of good habits will only help you get better.

Playing the bass guitar means learning
something new every day. The key is
making sure you keep learning. And
you keep learning by practicing.
Although learning the bass guitar
is a journey, it doesn’t have to be a
race. You’ll learn more by keeping a
steady pace than by going in fits and
starts. It’s important to make time
every day to play the bass guitar in
a place where you have as few
distractions as possible.
