Everyone gets to stand under the shade except the bass player. It figures.

It was great fun! In hindsight, I wish weād taken an hour slot 
Actually, I chose to stand where I was. I was movinā and a groovinā and there wasnāt enough space for me to be doing that, brandishing a bass and not whack our singer in the face with the headstock

Coolio! Being an incessant questioner, I just had to check. Turns out I guessed right!
Epsom salt is one of many naturally occurring mineral salts, a compound of magnesium and sulfate in rock-like formations. The name āEpsom saltā is a nod to the town of Epsom, located a stoneās throw away from London in England, where the salt was supposedly discovered about 400 years ago.

Playing metal (āWar Pigsā) on a fretless bass is stupidly fun.

I was watching a bit of The Warning Hellfest concert and when they got to Disciple I decided to figure out the opening riff by ear. It only took me like 5 minutes which is a big win. Iāve been trying to focus on picking things up by ear and I not only grabbed the right minor key shape, I picked up the correct starting note just from my memory of the sound. Super stoked about that!

For songs primarily guitar or bass driven I usually first check if it is E Minor or A Minor. Youād be surprised.

D gets a decent amount of play b/c of drop d it seems.
Every once in a while you run into something where itās clear nobody in the band cared about anything besides fret numbers and shapes b/c the key signature is painful though. I guess if thereās no keys or horns why should you care.

Yeah Dm is another one.
Mostly I think they are catering to the vocalist.

Simple, nice bass morning; I looked down, saw my new SBV-550, smiled, picked it up, banged out Joy Divisionās āThe Only Mistakeā by ear and memory, had a nice warm fuzzy feeling, but it back down. Time to go to work.

Iāve had some good bass days, as in Iāve actually managed to play.
Work has been a lot and I havenāt had the mental bandwidth for my hobbies recently 
Iāve had some days off so made sure I picked up my bass - Iād really missed it. Iāve now completed the extra main lessons from the new BassBuzz course 
My challenge now is making sure I find time for playing alongside work.

Youāre doing better than I am. I havenāt picked up my bass in a week. I screwed up my elbow playing with my grandson (heās 6 and it still feels weird thinking Iām old enough to be a grandfather). I tried to power through when they went home but it was getting worse every day. Iām hoping that another day or two, maybe this weekend at worst before I can play again.

I know the feeling, well, sort of. I was sidelined when I tore a tendon in my wrist and getting back into it with my new bass after a break, and I suck at it lol. Oh well, time to get back in the saddle

Itās a bummerā¦ but I mean I did hurt myself on a ninja warrior course at a trampoline park playing with my only grand child. Worth it imo.

Was going through some lessons that I havenāt completed yet since Iām getting ready to wrap up the course. Of course the first one was Billie Jean lol. Iām happy to say that I made it through! The only thing that screwed me up was that I didnāt remember about the rests when it jumps up, so I got thrown off by trying to incorporate those. But all in all, Iām pretty proud of myself (and I donāt come by that statement very easily).
