would you please teach me, how can i pick basslines in songs that has way too many notes and groves. I'm a bargainer and i still have trouble to pick up intermediate complex songs that has many notes and i can't pick them up by just listening them.
I learned a lot from James Jamerson bass lines / Jack Bruce from Cream and Paul McCartney - I'm sure there are transcriptions available on the internet.
slow them down on youtube! and start with simple shit, just by using your ear. dont use tabs if possible. you can also look up covers on youtube, just be warned that they may not be correct. your ears will improve over time, as long as you use them
Not really...but I do play solo introductions in trio gigs and sometimes feature a solo bass performance from time to time. It's quite a niche area...🙂
Very insightful. Concise and straight to the point. Keep up the good work.

Bit of reverb / delay and room acoustics.
