Shed Mindset
A mental framework for bassists—practice, listening, sound, artistry, and the musical life.
What Shed Mindset Is
Shed Mindset is where we zoom out. It’s how you think while you practice, how you listen with intention, how you build a sound concept, and how you stay grounded through the highs, lows, plateaus, and pressure of being a musician.
Choose a post and spend some time with the idea. How does it show up in your playing today? If you want help going deeper, that’s waiting inside the Shed.
Busy Isn’t Progress
Busyness can feel productive while quietly keeping progress at a distance. This piece explores why focus—not motion—is what turns practice into real growth, and how choosing less can actually move you forward.
The First Five Minutes Decide Everything
The first five minutes of practice quietly shape attention, focus, and depth. How you enter a session often matters more than how long you practice—and a deliberate start can change everything that follows.
Comparison Is Killing Your Progress
Comparison can feel like awareness—or even motivation—but most of the time it quietly pulls attention away from the work. Real progress doesn’t come from ranking yourself against others. It comes from where you place your focus.
7 Habits That Actually Build Success
Real progress on the bass isn’t built on talent alone—it’s shaped by daily habits. These seven principles show how intention, consistency, and long-term thinking quietly create success on the instrument and beyond.
Shed Mindset begins with how you think as a bassist, a musician, and an artist.
Inside In The Shed, we share from experience—ideas and perspective that can support clarity, intention, and artistic expression.
