I couldn’t care less about hair. And I couldn’t care less about any woman that deems hair on a guy important. It’s a natural thing. I had hair before the pandemic with a giant bald spot in the middle and my wife kept saying “you pull it off” which was total crap. When the pandemic hit I bought clippers and that was that. If you see hair on my head it’s because I’ve been lazy or too busy playing bass and sax. I’d prefer if it all fell out.
I also started growing the goatee when the pandemic started. I’ve found anything that covers a long portion of my face is a plus. Added bonus is my wife hates it hahahaahaha. I just tell people I’m making an upside down face.
No you are not, I can’t stand even 20 seconds of listening to that song. There is no way I would ever want to play it, let alone record myself playing it.
My old mate from the military commented on his own receding hairline. He said (in a beautiful Irish accent) “Yes I’m washing a lot more face these days”.
@JT Really useful. There are 60 odd pages of exercises including warm ups, dexterity and coordination (individual and finger combinations, cross string and string skipping), strength and control (hammer ons and pull offs), endurance and stamina (scales, licks, blues and speed), scale sequences, arpeggios and hand techniques and ‘finger gym’ workouts. There is an appendix of scales and appergio shapes. There are downloadable audio files although I haven’t looked at those. Author is Simon Pratt and its £9.99 on Amazon.
Probably have it lying around the house. Don’t remember using it. O don’t even remember playing bass 8 years ago. Must have only been for a few months.
I have taken to checking my orders and looking around the music room and storage room nearby before ordering things. I too find I actually own things I am thinking about buying from time to time.
@howard, that is not how I pictured you at all… not even close. I envisioned you with a head full of hearty, jet black hair and clean shaven.
You never post pictures or videos of yourself playing, so we don’t know what you look like.
Hah! That was definitely me in my college days, when I still had hair. Kind of went for a look like Jim Reid from Jesus and Mary Chain, both hair and dress.
These days I’m just another old-looking west coast guy, shaved head and van dyke beard, it’s becoming like a uniform for 50-something bald dudes at this point
But I have been doing it since I started balding at 23, so at least I have that. It was not so common back then.
