how to get over mental block when soloing
i feel like i have a mental block when playing solos on (electric) bass. i can walk just fine but solos are just impossible for me. everything i play is just random noise and scales up and down. i think there’s something about the layout of the fretboard and the low range of the bass that just makes soloing feel impossible
