50 First Songs 100 Week Challenge

Since I’m having a little trouble to understand the specifics for this topic, can you please tell me if I’m wrong ? From what I understand, this topic encourages to play and try one of the 50 songs every 2 weeks … right ? So this month should be :
26-Dec-2022 Sunshine of Your Love Cream
16-Jan-2023 The Chain Fleetwood Mac
Is that it ?

Hi @mediaklan absolutely not. The timescale is very much up to you. If you do one song every 2 months it doesn’t matter.

Just pick a song you like the look of and give it a go. No pressure, just have fun. The bonus is that it really improves / supercharges your progress by focusing on learning songs IMHO.

If you don’t like any of the songs you can always pick one you do like and post it in the ‘post you covers thread’. It doesn’t matter how ‘well’ you play. It’s just the giving the thing a good go that’s important.

We started it with that intent and it all went to hell very quickly. It’s more fun without the time pressure.

Do I need to be a subscriber to the beginner to badass course to get access to the Music Notation and Tabs Mini-Site link from the first post?

When I click the link it doesn’t work and goes to the bassbuzz home page. Does the link take you to the Music Notation and Tabs Mini-Site?

I just recounted, I am at 31.
Need to go back up and tidy 5 that I skipped for various reasons.
I end up doing a bunch (for some reason in Januarys) then head in different directions.
The Beatles “Long One” took a lot of wind out of my bass playing sails for a bit, lol, and been on sax mostly of late (and working for myself has kept me busy).
I also have a couple other things that are pushing bass to different levels that I am working through.
Never, ever, ever enough time.
