Didn’t happen. Time was a factor but not an excuse. Played scales for one hour a day at work for a week.

I’ve been a bass player for a long time but have never really given myself to learning the instrument and developing my ear. Show me the song or hand me the tabulature and I’m good. Ask me to figure it out with just my bass and an .mp3 and I’m in for a long and frustrating week.
Musicians rely on their ears to tell them what works and what doesn’t so I need to spend more time developing those tools. At this point I feel like a writer who doesn’t really know how to speak the language he’s writing in.
Ultimate-Guitar.com has a long list of tabs that have been requested by other users. I’m going to start my Ear Quest by perusing the list and trying to tab some of the songs. I’ll be working on my skills and helping out other players at the same time.
First stop – ‘Lose It’ by Atreyu.
