Here is a list of four critical things to remember while you are playing bass. Do not forget these!

1.  Don’t Get Discouraged

It’s easy to be discouraged when you are struggling to learn a riff or a new technique. Shake off the negativity and keep working hard at it.

Usually when you want to quit, you are very close to your goal, as the saying goes. Keep working hard and eventually you will master that bass technique, soon.

2. The Best Worked Hard to be the Best

Do you ever think about the amount of time and effort your favorite bass player has put in? The amounts of times that he or she burnt the midnight oil in order to learn that new technique or lock in that new groove?

The bottom line is, the best practice a lot. And they practice smart too. Victor Wooten did not become a slap bass wonder overnight, remember that!

3. You Determine How Good You Can Be

The only person who is stopping you from becoming the next bass legend is yourself. Thank about that.

Think about what you want to accomplish from playing bass, and go out and achieve it!

4. “Winners Never Quit and Quitters Never Win”

A famous Lombardi quote that sums up a lot of different aspects of life, including playing bass guitar. Do not stop playing forever if you are frustrated. Take a 15 minute break or even a couple days off if you need it.

Good luck, and I hope this list helped you!
