The ear training as a bass player. It bothers me. I feel like you disect the song. I appreciate the song and love it more being able to play it. Trying to replicate those sounds tones get the tempo down.
It's fun playing in a band most of demanding.
Show up prepped and know your stuff. Work is another time consumer making time to practice then showing up with the group. Bring what you know doing your part to make the song come together make it sound like the song you hear coming out of the speaker.
Lots of repetition being able to keep the song going the bass carries and makes the song clashing with the drummer. The ear training makes it come together one section at a time. Trying to go through the song know the setlist 10 songs with different styles and patterns to remember
