Amos Heller Instagram – I have had an over 30 year relationship with the bass. Like a lot of relationships, we have had “our ups and downs”, times where I felt intimately connected, and times where I struggled to put in the work.
I once heard the inimitable @bryanbellerbass say a simple sentence that changed how I think about practicing:
You’re going to be best at the thing that you love.
My personal study has moved from mechanical études and focused ability increases to playing instruments, songs, and tones that I can’t wait to sink my teeth into.
I’m not watching the clock, and thinking about it less like work I need to do.
The joy that draws you forward in your art to new challenges is so unique to you, and is a vital part of what will make you great.
Plenty of you kind folks have been asking about this marvelous @yamaha_guitars / @bah_ra_haas piece. I will be happy to share the salacious details with you soon, but for now please enjoy this piece which makes me think of my middle school years, perusing potion shops in a 8-bit fantasy world. I’m calling it “Apothecary”
Thanks for reading and listening. #myguitarbreakthrough | Posted on 16/Nov/2023 23:20:37
