Bill Wyman – HuffPost 11.18.11

Mike Ragogna: Bill, what advice would you have for new artists?

Bill Wyman: Try to write some decent songs first. Practice, practice, practice. Listen to the people in the past that played the instrument you’re playing and learn from them. That’s the way I learned, that’s the way Mick and Keith learned. Just copying lines and riffs and things, then you can do your own thing. Once you’ve gathered that info, you can do it your own way. That’s the way I do it and that’s the way I always suggest to young musicians. A lot of young musicians come to the show and start asking me about what bass guitar I use, and I just say to them to practice and try to write some decent songs.
