Yeah unless there’s a serious breakthrough in immortality, me too.
Dammit. Pop culture taught us we were all supposed to be made into vampires while young and pretty, back in the '90s. I want my money back.

There’s zero doubt. Except mine’ll be a small pile of ashes. Nice and tidy.

Great video as per usual. And yes, the 50 year image thing is a bit scary isn’t it!
I definitely used to noodle, but I’ve managed to correct that now, by doing exactly what Josh mentions about the structure before even picking the bass up. It really does help think in advance of what it is I need to do, before picking the bass up and then having a crack. If I have nothing to focus on, then the noodling starts, but yeah, putting it at the bottom of the list is a great idea.
And, er, yeah, number 1. Um, and probably number 5 
Half the time it’s recognising you’re making one of the mistakes, and then at least you can stop and address it.
Great stuff though, as always!

A few things.
First, this is a valuable and lovely video. It should be mentioned every time because quality like this shouldn’t be taken for granted.
Second: because of the thumbnail for this video, I was afraid that eyebrow raising was one of the things I was going to have to stop, and I’d sooner stop playing the bass. Good thing eyebrows weren’t targeted in this.
Third: Future Josh has seen some shit. I’m not sure where the world takes you @JoshFossgreen , but get ready. There’s a lot of experience and pain in those weathered, craggy, hunky features.

Wow, great video.
I am a compulsive noodler and my theory is not up to par. I can say that I was already working on 10 songs I could pick up and play decently from start to finish from memory. I’m at about… 5, I think? With 2 on deck? Summat like that.
Anyway, I have a request: if ever we get “official” Bass Buzz shirts, they all have to say “NOT JOSH” on them somewhere. Whadda ya think, @JoshFossgreen?

Holy crap! That’s a great idea!
By the way @JoshFossgreen, my mom says you are a good looking man both young and old.

I too am attracted to old Josh.
No, that’s not what I came here to say!
I too am a noodler, but only a little.
I know not-enough theory too!
I’m working on my fingering.
Practice out those mistakes!
And lastly. I REALLY want a Not Josh B2B shirt! Why isn’t this happening yet!?
I picture it on the back, in what looks like black Sharpie.
