I would like to ask TM Stevens, how do you manage to play to get a real flow and good rhythm in your music?<\/STRONG>

TM Stevens \uff1a
Great question.. Working on your playing by yourself is the very first step. Work on your playing technique, practice with a metronome or drum machine to get your timing perfect, learn how to listen to your inner ear, (meaning that as you’re playing the music, if you’re just playing patterns that you’ve learned, then you’re playing like a robot and very mechanical.

If you’re playing from your heart, your insides will guide you, and give you ideas & grooves). Ideas and grooves that come from the inside, (meaning, your inner ear), is what we call inspiration, and that’s where the magic is. Learn all of your scales, patterns and theory, then forget it all when you’re playing, and just play!!!

I just want to know, as great artists with many years of live experience, what advices can you give to amateurs like us? What are the right approach and attitude to have in order to get professional and better as a bass player?<\/STRONG>

TM Stevens \uff1a
Hello.. I have had the honor and privilege to work with many great and classic artists in my career. The very first thing that I’ve noticed from all of them from James Brown, to Tina Turner, is that they are all 100% dedicated to what they do. Remember, in the beginning we were all amateurs, and the love and passion for what we do, is what got us all to the point where we’re considered professional and original. We have all had many disappointments, like record labels turning us down, not getting into a band that we wanted to be in, not having a great night playing in a concert on any given night.

When we fall, our pure love for what we do, makes us get right back up and get back in the fight. Don’t just like to play your bass, you have to LOVE to play your bass, and you never should play because you want to, you should be playing because you HAVE TO, and you can’t go on without it!!!

I want to ask TM Stevens , what kind of music style have you mixed into your funk music, and who were the musicians that influenced the most your style?<\/STRONG>  

TM Stevens \uff1a
My music is a culmination of all that I’ve heard growing up, and from all of the great artists that I’ve had the honor to play with over the years. I grew up listening to, and finally playing & recording with James Brown.
As a kid, when I first heard Led Zeppelin’s \u201cKashmir\u201d, that changed my life. Hence, my music is a combination of the funk and groove of James Brown, George Clinton & P-Funk, and the rock of Led Zeppelin, Pantera & Hendrix..My influences are many, however just to name a few, Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, Motown’s band with James Jamerson on bass, Bootsy Collins on bass, Jack Bruce, John Entwhistle of The Who, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and so on..My influences are very wide, because I listen to many different kinds of music to be a wider player and person.

I just want to ask:
As an Asian, my hands are very small, how can I manage to play efficiently the bass even with small hands?
Please do not say, hey guys, just take care of the sound, I could really use advices! Thank you.<\/STRONG>

TM Stevens \uff1a
This is very interesting, as one of the first tours that I did was with Mahavishnu John McLaughlin, and we opened for Stanley Clarke when he had his hit School Days. We are still friends and speak together to this very day.

One night after a concert, I waited for him, we talked, and I shook his hand. To my surprise, his hands were so big, that they could’ve wrapped around my hand twice it seemed. Also, a very good friend of mine, whom I used to go to the health club with in New York, was a bassist you might know of, named Jaco Pastorius. I put my hand up next to his, and I felt like a mini person.

The point is, I do have big hands, and both Jaco and Stanley have bigger hands, however each of us, (and you), bring something different and unique to the instrument. It’s not how many notes can you hit with big hands, it’s rather being able to hit the RIGHT NOTE AT THE RIGHT TIME, AND WITH THE RIGHT FEEL, that’s important. Maybe someone with bigger hands can move quicker or play faster, however there is no race, as we all get to the end of the song at the same time!!! ps.. I do practice finger stretching exercises, and once your fingers are stretched, you can get around the bass quite easily. One finger per fret is the best way to do this..

Hey TM, can you tell us the main difference, soundwise, between your new Warwick TM Stevens Signature model and the Funkmachine you used to play?<\/STRONG>

TM Stevens \uff1a
Dear Ono69, any bass that I play, has to have deep bottom, and be very clear and punchy on the top when I slap. The FunkMachine was my very first signature bass, and it was designed for slapping, and I installed an auto wah in the bass to add to the slap funk. The new Warwick TM Zooloo Funk Bass, is entirely a different animal, in that I can play deep reggae with a bottom that’s thunderous, and when I slap, I don’t need to change the tone at all, as it is like clear glass on top. The wood is far more dense and a little heavier, however this makes the tone really incredible. Studio & live concert engineers always compliment me on the tone and power of this Warwick treasure, and it’s very playable!!!

I am interested to know how you are managing your practice time. For example, how do you practice on a regular basis in a regular day at home? How do you deal with problem such as lack of inspiration or lack of motivation during practice?
<\/STRONG>

TM Stevens \uff1a
When I first started playing, I used to practice 12 hours a day, as I love it so much. In the beginning, it’s all about music, and once you get into the music as a profession, it becomes the music \u201cbusiness\u201d, and just like managing a company or corporation, one now doesn’t have the time to practice 12 hours a day, as you have to run and maintain the business.

On tour, I sometimes play 6 \u2013 10 concerts in a row without a day off, and we travel sometimes 5 \u2013 10 hours a day in the truck to get to the next town & concert site. There are days when I’m really tired & not so motivated, however there is an audience out there that payed to see a great concert, and it’s not fair to them if I’m not giving my best. The people who came to the very first concert on a tour, got a great and fresh show, and the people who come to the very last show on any given tour, has the right to get the same great and fresh show, and motivating one’s self starts way before I pick up the bass. I usually practice before a show in the dressing room, and that’s where I get excited and motivate myself on demand, to go out there and slam it hard core. It’s a gift and honor to be able to play, and very few people can do this, so that should be enough to motivate you!!!

I would like to ask TM , what should we take care of while tuning the bass on the scene, are there any rules or steps about the tuning process that we can follow\uff1f
Second question is: While playing in a band, how can you make the badass bass sound sounds clear and be heard as an active part of the song? I know you are a specialist in this matter, please advise me.
<\/STRONG>
TM Stevens \uff1a
Part 1 \u2013 When you say tuning on the scene, I think that you mean how do you tune when you’re on stage already playing? First, I change my strings almost every night on a tour, and I change everyday in the studio, or if I don’t feel that the strings are still popping with tone, I’ll change my strings in between songs. As bass strings are larger, it takes them a longer time to stretch and stay in tune, so tuning is one of the most important things for me either live, or in the studio. Normal tuning is playing the harmonics on the 7th fret of the G string, and matching that note with the 5th fret on the D string, and h same with the A & E strings. When I change strings, I fully stretch them until they stay in tune. As I am also the lead singer in my bands, I sometimes have to keep playing and singing, and I’ll tune at the same time, (this takes practice, and over time you’ll get it). Lastly, I usually have to drop the E string down to a D or C# for certain songs, then I have to retune it back to the normal key for the next song very quickly. I have relative pitch, which means that I can memorize note pitches, which allows me to tune up much quicker than having to use a tuner for each song.

Part 2 \u2013 I’ve played on many hit songs, like Joe Cocker’s \u201cUnchain My Heart\u201d, Tina Turner \u201cSimply The Best\u201d, James Brown \u201cLiving In America\u201d, The Pretender’s \u201cDon’t Get Me Wrong\u201d and so on. I always play what the music needs, then I add my signature touch.

The first thing is to work on the tone of your bass. I set my EQ away from the keyboards, guitars and singing, so that I have my own frequency, and the bass is clear and by itself at that frequency. Next, I feel what the song needs bass wise, then I color it to make it special. If you play what you’re hearing, most of the time it’ll be great for the song. If you play only from patterns and not from what you’re feeling at that point, then it becomes a bit sterile and normal. Joe Cocker played Ray Charles’ version of Unchain My Heart, and I immediately heard it a different way, and I played what I heard, and it was one of his biggest hits. Play what you hear inside and own it. If it’s not quite right, the producer will let you know, and you’ll hear something else from the inside, and get it jamming!!!
