da bass playa asked:


I’m in high school jazz band, and this is my second year in jazz band and playing the bass. I’ve learned a hard song before but this year the music got harder. I’m pretty good at just sight reading a walking bass line and if I work really hard I can usually get a harder rhythm or a latin jazz tune. Auditions are next week and I’m the only bass player but my band teacher is probably going to have me audition anyway. Do you have any ideas of how to learn the song quickly but accurately? I have been playing these songs for about a week now but I just can’t seem to get them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even if you’re not a bassist you can still answer this question about how you learn music and give me some ideas!!!
Thanks!
