How do you get better on bass?

[Dennis Michaels]

You guys absolutely kill me. I had a problem student a few years ago who never practiced or applied himself in any way while still having his sites set high. After 2 years I lost it and told him this." If you won't practice and work on this thing, you have no choice but to lower you expectations so you are happy playing bass as badly as you said you want to". Goal achived

I had a great double bass teacher many years ago. One time I asked him,
"What should I do when I don't feel like practising?"
He replied,
"Watch TV."

Before you berate him, think!
There was a lot of truth in what he said.
I believe he was a very wise man.
