Good Bass Day

Tried out with another band today. Great fit. Got invited to join. Looking forward to more of this.

I think I’ve found a guitarist to play with my drummer and I. Working on setting up practice for next weekend to get us all together. I think we’re a trio now.

I find myself hugging my bass during rehearsals in between playing - as a shoulder relieve in the first place, but it also feels like cuddling :growing_heart:

I do that too! I also gently touch the neck of my bass while I’m sitting close to it and reading. It feels silly, but it makes me happy.

I also greet my basses :grin:

We just added this to the set list. Working on it this morning. I have a feeling this is going to be floor filler :heart_eyes:

Side Note - Original bass line written and performed by Flea.

I’m in Module 12 right now and don’t hate the octaves as much as I thought I would, so that’s good.

I decided to go back and check my progress. When I first hit the ā€œWith or Without Youā€ lesson near the start of the course I could only get through a couple measures at full speed without everything falling apart. Now I can play through the whole song at tempo and it’s easy. It’s so easy not to notice my progress, so that was a cool exercise.

Just finished module 9. Had no issues with Roxanne or Feel Good Inc, at full tempo, went great!

I have 2 Chihuahuas. Both rescued from breeding farms, both between 15 and 18. It is a fact that they actually think they are the Masters of the UNiverse. :rofl:My short-haired Chihuahua is quiet and gentle. Except at feeding time, when she can be heard in the next country over. My other Chihuahua moves like Barry Allen aka The Flash - for her food, and for my cats’ (if I even turn my head for a second). The only thing missing is her Speedster outfit!!!

Y’all are going to kill it​:+1:. Happy for you.

We crushed it! There wasn’t really a dance floor but it didn’t stop the crowd from using the space available and filling it up. We got a ton of compliments and a couple invites for more work.

Been in the recording studio (AKA, my office) with my daughter. We trying to create a full cover of a bass-heavy song. My daughter is on vocals and finger clicks. I’m on bass and ā€˜kick drum’…

Took a break from Bass to play some Lawyer / Dentist Blues in A over a backing track.

Forgotten how much fun guitar noodling over backing tracks is and how much my fingers hurt compared to bass.
