Do
some practicing with a friend. I do not mean jam,
or prepare a piece of music to play together. Instead,
make a short list of specific items that the two of
you can practice together. For example:
1.
Melodic minor scale, one octave, using the cycle of
fourths
2. Reading in Bass Clef, Pp. 24-30
C.
2-part melody and bass line
E. 2-part bass line and guide
tones
4.
Slap Bass Workout, song numbers 31-36
The
sound of another player with the sound of your playing
will bring many aspects to light. Listen for: intonation,
articulation, dynamics, and phrasing. Mistakes will
be obvious, unless, of course, both of you are making
the same mistake.
