When you practice or play and find yourself tapping your foot, do it! Feet tapping reflects internal time. That's it! If you force yourself not to tap your foot, you are distracting your mind from both practicing or the musical performance.
Musicians have been tapping their feet since forever. Plus, we are in a time where musicians seem to literally make an effort to "fix" things that never was broken to begin with. The whole of bass education up to the college level reflects a distrust of proven educational methods to such a degree that alteration was comensurate to provide students what they want rather than what they need. The expression "Help you to achieve your goals" indicates this!
This is why I'm not welcome at any school that teaches the electric bass. Teachers at schools, camps, seminars and conferences aren't lying or conning you! But, everyone is living a fantasy and making money hand over fist on it! I won't even if I lose money or fan admiration for my views. Bass education is a business! If you don't agree, ignore my posts! This is fair!
To summarize, if you want to jam on the weekend or have a studio career, the learning process ofvthe bass is identical! You can do it!
