I've been a guitarist for about 10 years, so I assumed that learning the bass would be easy. It turned out to be a much more difficult task than I had first thought, and I got frustrated very quickly. However, when I do a little self-talk before practice sessions, it seems my skills and my speed of learning improve greatly. For instance, I might repeat for 15 minutes that I am a great bass player, it comes easily to me, and my skills are improving by the minute.
