When first learning a song, a chart, sure, but after 6 months of the
same songs (er, same mistakes), you should be feelin' the song by
then. But then thats a universal for any musician.
I see attention to detail. When I played bass, I always made note of
the chord tonality in case I wanted to add harmonic color or a walk-
up or something. I took 6 months of drum lessons to really (Ted
Reed, Syncopation)so that I could join a rhythm section and lock it
in. I wish I could find a good way to communicate som basic bass
player stuff to our bass guy. Hmm, I sound frustrated, don't I.
Even though I'm playing guitar in a surf band now, the bass is still
the coolest istrument. Imagine having hot chicks gyrate to movement
of two or three of your fingers on you right hand, and not have to
buy them dinner. I'm talking about when the crowd starts dancing at
a gig and you see someone keying their rock wiggle/dance on your
bass line.
