It is less complicated than guitar where you need to play chords, melody, fillers, riffs and solos. When you play bass, you play bass lines which are one note after the other rather than chords. Also, you can get away with just a bass and an amp without having to add sound effects like guitarists do. Nobody has time if they don't make it. The same goes for money, you won't have any if you don't work for it. So, if you want to achieve something you have to make time and work for it. See similar questions...

Well, the short answer is about two minutes because that is all it takes to be able to start to have fun and make simple musical sounds come out of it. The real question with the Strumstick should be "how long until I start to have fun?" The answer to that is right from the start, because it sounds good right from the start, even when you know nothing. You can play songs slowly in about five minutes (although I think you should just play it at random and leave songs for a bit later). See similar questions...

This depends on the individual. Some players get on to the bagpipes in under a year. Others take over two years. Still others can take a lot longer. Bagpipes are a musical instrument and require some musical aptitude. Age is definitely a factor. Younger students (10 to 16 is the ideal age to begin) tend to learn much quicker and have potential to become great players. Older students tend to take longer to learn and usually have limited potential. Practice definitely makes a difference. See similar questions...

In the beginning, in the first draught, Gea played the electric guitar. Then I chose to make her play the bass because I believe it's an instrument which reflects her character better. Usually, the bass player isn't at the front of the stage, like the singer or guitarist who are naturally more exhibitionistic. The bass player stays in the background but often holds the whole group together rhythmically. See similar questions...

Yoga is not a subject that is learnt to a certain level upon which one is "qualified." It is a subject which has a beginning but no end - the more one progresses in one's practice, the more the subject opens up and the more one realises there is more to be learnt, absorbed and applied. B.K.S Iyengar has been practicing for over 65 years and states that he is still a student who is constantly discovering and learning new things through yoga. See similar questions...

A drum will always sound its best when tuned to its most resonant pitch and allowed to vibrate freely. One way to get a drum to resonate freely is to get the striker, be it stick or bass drum beater, off the head. This goes for snares, toms, and bass drums. With a bass drum this resonance can sometimes be a problem. In a small group setting it may make the drum sound to boomy and overpowering. That's why drummers started using felt strips on their bass drum heads. See similar questions...

In one sense heel up is similar to using finger control. It's an aid to playing fast groups of notes and therefore is a very useful technique to develop. When playing longer groups of fast notes lifting the heel "slightly" (i.e. 1/4 to 1/2 inch) will help keep the lower leg muscles relaxed. Also finding the "sweet" spot on the pedal is important. It's usually about 3 to 4 inches from the very top of the pedal. Use the ball of the foot, not the toes. See similar questions...

So he can be a player character. Actually in every game where it has happened there has always been a plot reason. For example in Mega Man & Bass he actually doesn’t know at first that King is Wily’s robot, so he thinks he’s fighting for Wily—but when he finds out the truth, he blows up Wily’s machines in anger at being deceived. Usually, the reason has something to do with Wily annoying Bass in some way. See similar questions...
