  Being a professional studio musicianmy suggestion is that you learn all of these tips that she&apos;s teaching you but you will find that the most important tip that you need to learn is when not to use this stuff. many times I&apos;ve gone into the studio and have an idea about what I wanted to play and then had the producer want me to play something that was so simplistic that it was almost impossible to make it groove. if you can make &apos;simple&apos; groove you have a better chance of becoming an actual working musician than if you have the greatest chops in the world but don&apos;t know how to apply them correctly or keep it simple.

  I don’t know, I think it may have been the sun glasses and not the ghost notes. &nbsp;Lol!

  So I recently picked up the bass after playing guitar for 25 years, and found myself naturally adding ghost notes when I was playing and wondered if I was starting a bad habit. &nbsp;Good to know I wasn&apos;t, haha. &nbsp;Thanks for the great lesson.

  I love playing ghost notes. They can make your rythym much more percussive and funky. I also like your suglasses you look cool and adorable!😊

  Good tips if you want to go from a beginner to an intermediate or advanced player.<br>But the fact is if you play for nothing you&apos;re amateur. If you play for money you&apos;re a professional. Many amateurs are brilliant. Many professionals are terrible.<br>But these are still great tips!
