Try some of the things on this list to help improve yourself as a player.

Exercise

Let’s face it: the more you work out, the longer you are on the planet (generally). The less you have to worry about health, the more time you can spend playing bass.

Listening to Something You Do Not Usually Listen To

Pretty self explanatory, you just have to listen to a type of music you generally do not enjoy or typically listen to. I don’t usually listen to older hip hop, but I’ve found that I really do enjoy a lot of the catchy bass lines.

Use a Different Right Hand Technique

If you’ve learned a riff or song one way, try it with the other right hand technique. The main three I’m talking about is with a pick, your fingers, or slapping with your thumb. This will challenge your right hand technique.

 Take A Break

This can be really effective if you are having some creative difficulties. Try not playing bass for 2 days and then coming back with new ideas and a clear brain.
