alrighty im starting a jam band with a really good drummer friend of mine and a really good guitarist friend of mine , i was wondering if there was like a "bass improvisation guide" kinda thing , now dont waste my and your time with "someone cant tell you hgow to improv. im just looking for a basic guide , ive done it before i just want more of a foundation.

Erm.... I just work off of chord progressions and scales...?

Usully before my band starts jam we do some scales or have the drummer or me do a litle basic groove just to start things off.

the best way to learn improv is to learn your scales and modes also if you know what key you are playing in helps/

well see that might be a problem , see i know my scales a nd a decent amount of theory but my ear isnt too great , now you may ask whats hte problem with that? my guitarist knows very little theory and is self taught he knows some scales but i really have to figure out what key were in because he usually doesnt know , im helping him in that aspect though so well see how this works out.

Just groove then?

then insted of following the guitar get the guitar to follow you.

Or just groove together?

Left: the hardest part of jamming is to start out but from there it gets better, if you can record yourself.

And feed off of one another.

we jammed today it wasnt bad at all , i mean i had to bide my time while i figured out what key we were in but once i found it we all locked it was amazing , we did record it , but its on his computer and its a huge file , (20 minutes)

its good to hear that you could connect in your playing.

Sounds awesome. One of the bands I'm in is just a silly punk band. I told them I had to make up my own lines, and not use the real ones...

Nice Left, every jam gets easier, its great ear training and overall skill building.

get out of the punk band and take the drummer with you! thats what i did. i wrote all the songs in that silly little band while the singer wrote out political lyrics and wasted my grooves on them.

Im done, how to I get my file from adobe auditiion to soundclick i tried and it said only mp3 files supported.
