I just bought an electric bass, with the intention of auditioning for my school's jazz band in 7 months. This is obviously not a whole lot of time. Can you think of any specific resources that might be helpful, or even just general tips/tricks?
figure out who is in charge of the group and make fast friends with them. if you wanna learn anything on your instrument you're gonna need to get into that band. all the learning happens after that point
