2 Commitment Welcome to the Tain the Taine EBOOK. Fo this book to be viable, thee is a cetain level of knowledge and knowhow egading the bass guita and music theoy ahead of time. If you come acoss details that ae foeign to you, please see the Bass Cash Couse and Pefect Pactice ebooks fo instuction on what something is. This book was caefully put togethe with details that I believe ae impotant elements in a cuiculum fo any bass student, at any level. If you believe that you ae above this book and it!s offeings, it is not fo you. Fo those that ecognize that leaning is a neve ending pocess and you can alway get bette, thee may some details in hee fo you to use. Fo existing bass teaches and those inteested in becoming an educato, knowing whee to stat o what to move onto next can sometimes be difficult. Hee!s a system in a box, it should at the vey least fill a gap o give you some ideas. You!ll find this book vey minimal compaed to the othe books using mostly pint chats made available though the othe ebooks we!ve published. How you want to use them and apply them is up to you, and you style of leaning o the style of leaning a student you!e teaching is vey diffeent fom someone else's. This is whee commitment comes into play. If you!e like the est of us, thee!s no doubt an instuctional book collecting dust on the shelf o even discaded that you!ve acquied and only cacked open a time o two. Hopefully, this book doesn!t shae the same fate. Often only the passionate, committed, dedicated and consistent people find what they ae looking fo. Tain the Taine applies to teaches. Regadless if you!e teaching youself o othes, thee!s a cetain level of esponsibility that comes along with such a pactice. Fo those teaching themselves, patience, outine, goals and commitment will take you fa with you caft. Fo those shaing the low-end goodness with othes, the same also applies, patience, outine, goals and commitment. Thee is an abundance of additional infomation available fo fee fo bass playes out thee. This book does not contain eveything. If you o you student finds something shiny to exploe on the bass, figue out how to wok it into you studies. Keeping it fun and new fo youself and students is impeative to avoid bunout. Be waned, sticking to this couse will be tiesome but vey effective. We wish you and ouselves the best wishes in out pusuit in low-end undestanding.! You bothe in bass, Ryan Leigh McClelland

3 LASER FOCUS Let!s spend a moment on focus. Goals, ambitions, deams and moe ae all geat and impotant to have. Now that you have them, what do you do next? I!ve always been a believe in the wost action is inaction. I!ve had my fai shae of things I!ve been excited about and got caught up in day deaming ove it to the point to whee nothing happened. I!ve taken the next steps and got caught up in the but fist syndome. Have you eve had an end goal? Something you want to do but fist you have to do this, and then you have to do that etc. It happens to us all. Fo me pesonally, the Bass Matte poject is a pefect example. I!ve had this poject in mind fo yeas, but fist I had to make content, then I had to build a webpage, then I had to make a logo, then I had to fom a business, then I had to apply fo Tademaks, then I had to make a facebook page, then... Supise! Nothing got done. Taking Action Take action on something and pou all of you focus and attention you have available fo it and go. I shae this lesson I!ve expeienced with you as a bass educato. Bass Matte in the beginning of 2011 stated with a domain puchase and a facebook page. That!s it. With my lase focus on those two things I was able to apply lase focus into a logo, afte that the Bass Cash Couse and so on. The list is still long of things to get done, but by focusing on one detail at a time, the list begins to shink and fowad pogess is made. This ings tue to all atists. With ambitions of being famous, the best at the battle of the bands, the best hee, the best thee and so on, one can find them-self not knowing any moe and a bunch of time gone with no pogess. As a bass playe I have plenty to wok on and get bette at, as do we all egadless of level. I do my best to apply lase focus on just one thing until I!m confident and move on. Befoe too long, the list begins to have some check maks on it instead of gowing longe. Thee ae two new chats specific to this book that can be used fo testing, tacking and guidance fo what to teach/lean next. This book has a Complete Chats List to put into a binde fo you students o fo youself. The two new chats ae explained and the goals chat is touched upon again. Jump in, take the next steps, gow you own skills and help othes in the low end. Thee!s nothing wothwhile to put in this box so how about some tivia? Do you know who Paul Tutmac is?

6 Chops Bune Date fast/slow 1/8 Notes Tiplets Slap/Pop Playing speed is a lot moe impotant that one may think. I!m not talking about how fast of slow you can play, I mean how consistently you can play in time. A goal I ecommend is to build up to 8 bas (4/4) playing 8th notes at 240 BPM, Tiplets at 120 BPM and Slap Pop at 120 BMP. Playing slowe is a lot hade than it looks. Why don!t you shoot to play all thee at 25 BPM. =) Use this chat to tack pogess. You!ll find that if you don!t pactice, it doesn!t take long to lose esults. Keep those chops up. If you can go faste o slowe that the suggestions, keep going, those ae guidelines and if you can hit those, then you!e doing bette than most.

7 GOALS Goals we!e coveed in the pefect pactice ebook. Please efeence that fo details on how to apply. I will plug it hee though, you can gind and pactice all day long, but it gets easie if you!e woking towads something. Right them all down, if you need to make 100 of these pages, do it and wok it into studies. You!ll find a lot of goals need the elements on the pogess chat to achieve on the bass guita fom a playing aspect. NOTES and PROGRESS Keep tack of you pogess hee. As you discove new things to make goals fo make a new sheet, ad you own timelines of you need to. Use this chat to teach othe bass playes how to pactice and moe!
