Being able to focus through long periods of time is one of the biggest challenges faced by bassists and drummers. Sometimes we spend so much time practicing things with the metronome, or transcribing stuff, but we neglect something so raw and basic, such as not being distracted by whatever it's going on around us - or inside our minds. #Meditation has been a game changer for my bass playing. I really helps me learn music faster and keep my focus through long rehearsals, recording sessions and performances. I try to meditate every day, even if it's for 10 minutes.
