About this Quote

In this quote, Trevor Dunn is assessing his experience with finding out how to play the bass guitar. He explains that before taking personal lessons and learning how to play bass lines, he never ever actually paid attention to the bass in the music he listened to. Nevertheless, as soon as he started finding out and practicing, his ears were opened to a whole brand-new world of music. This suggests that discovering a brand-new ability or instrument can considerably boost one's gratitude and understanding of music. It also highlights the importance of actively listening and taking notice of all elements of a song, rather than simply the main melody or vocals.
