i didnt want to get into the rut of just jamming out weak renditions of my favourite songs via tabs.
which i can actually do to one level of sucess or another.
so i'm doing some foundation work.
any tips would be greatly appreciated.
love the site also!

Great site you have there!

You want this site:

http://www.freejamtracks.com/

Click the Play Bass Blues 01, 02 or 03 & pick a track, then put the licks etc. you've learnt from the 12 bar blues in every key to use whilst jamming along to the song!



Oh, and Hayseed Dixie are nothing short of awesome.

cheers for the link smaz.

i've seen hayseed dixie twice and their bass player rules, he does nothing fancy but he's right there solid as a metronome.
if only i could be as good...just need mega practice on my coordination, timing, rhythem, quality of left hand moves, quality of right hand hits etc etc etc!

as an old fart its noticeable that the only people who give a positive respose to learning an instrument at my stage in life are musicians, so cheers for that.

I love blue progressions,its all I learned when I started out. I can't recommend them enough for people starting out. If you wanna play rock, you got to understand the blues, as that is where it all came from.
