I consider Myung to be one of the quintessential examples of a 'gifted' musician and therefore, a 'gifted bassist' that inspires the majority of most bassists (not gifted-but have to work and practice our asses off to play like the natural gifted musicians do) to practice more, continually increase the level of difficulty of our playing, and inspire us to pass our knowledge and gift of' music on.

Ah, tsk tsk! I can't recommend it enough. Getting a teacher is the most important thing though. It made no sense to me whatsoever just learning all this theory on my own, but my instructor cleared up everything. You can start improv'ing (which is actually very easy) and get a whole new grasp on what the bassist your emulating was thinking when he made the song.

@MattyTheTurner When using 3 fingers, John uses a 3-2-1-3-2-1 pattern. You'll see this clearly in an earlier segment of his instructional video when he's working on right hand technique using pentatonic scales. If you watch that, you'll also notice his pinky finger moves with his other fingers as well (even though he's not plucking with it), as if he's flicking his fingers from pinky to index. Using 3-2-1 feels much more natural than 1-2-3 or 1-2-3-2 anyways; give it a try.

No sir! Haha. But I am still active in my bass playing and have long since moved to the world of the six string frenzy. Have I improved? Very much so, but I have never given the time of day to learning such technicalities. Would it improve my playing and what not? I'm sure it would. But I truly enjoy the experimental factor of constantly stumbling onto new things and not having a name for them.

I hate that kids nowadays have instant access to anything they even think they wanna learn. Back in the 90s I would’ve had to save up 70 bucks to get my hands on an instructional vid like this or Vic Wooten, pattitucci, etc. musicians had more mystique to them because usually you’d only “hear” about this “cat” who was doing insane stuff on an instrument for a few years before you maybe got a chance to see him or get some recording or footage. Nowadays kids go directly to the hottest players and start there lol no wonder kids are outplaying grown men after a heart

And he's only 4 years older than me on top of that. It's one of the best, if not the best music school in the United States. People from literally all over the world go to that school to pursue a music career. A good friend of mine Toshi Iseda went there too, and he's a professional musician, look him up. It's one of the hardest music schools to get into, and Joe Satriani and Steve Vai went there as well. And Alex Skolnick of Testament was one of Satriani's students. Your argument is invalid

I may not live up to your standards of this "why" with music, but I think I've come a hell of a long way from not knowing how to hold an instrument to formulating basslines in various time signatures and developing my own tapping technique. I don't need to be "hired" to feel and know I'm a musician. So if that's what it takes to live up to your standards, I'm fine defying that.
