Here is my cover of “The Wait” by the Pretenders. I’ve contemplated working through the whole Pretenders debut, but for now starting with a lesser known track. Pete Farndon has so many great parts all over the record. It’s a shame he wasn’t with us longer. I can’t hear exactly what is happening in the guitar solo section, so I came up with something similar. Hope you enjoy, lot’s of fun to play, love the chaotic energy in this tune

Awesome! I really liked the walking part on the chorus.

Thank you, @JerryP! Yes, even if sometimes progress seems slow, I play every day and every time after playing I feel more “comfortable”(or even “connected”) to my bass, if that makes sense? I guess this is progress! :joy:

Love it.

Love this tune and you sure did it justice @dlamson13

Have I mentioned I hate how easy bass becomes for guitarists?

Thank you all very much @sakkasie, @robbp, @T_dub, @Paul_9207, @JerryP, and @John_E for listening and the kind words. I had a great time working on this one for sure.

Haha, thanks, yeah we had this family art night a little while back where the girls surprised me and painted music themed pictures for my music room. Thought it was so nice I rearranged the basement a little to put them on display. Ended up with a better practice set-up too.

OK, Here is my very first posted cover.

The bass in this song is just so sultry. It’s also surprisingly difficult (for me) to keep my timing as you’ll see.

I have a long way to go to making this perfecto, but I absolutely love playing it. I hope it doesn’t hurt your ears too much

Bass-less backing track Recorded with OBS and then rendered through Resolve just for titles and fades. It seems to have punched up the bass compared to the OBS version of the song!

Let me know what you think!

Here is my last Halloween themed cover. Fans of the movie Ghostbusters 2 will be happy. Also, fans of Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo. I just love Danny Elfman. He’s done so many amazing things and I really wish I could sing like him.

Oingo Boingo - Flesh and Blood

My brother saw Danny’s second to last show with Oingo Boingo on their Farewell tour in '94 I think on October 30th. I was really sad because I thought I would never see him live. But then six years ago on October 28 my wife and I were lucky enough to get tickets to The Nightmare Before Christmas Live with Danny singing for Jack Skellington. A dream come true for me.

Oingo Boingo is fantastic live. I only ever saw them with Elfman.

As cool as it was to see Nightmare Live, I really wish I could see him perform in a real rock show setting. I was only 12 when he did his farewell tour. He is doing shows this weekend in Hollywood performing Oingo Boingo songs as well as stuff from Big Mess. I wish he would take it on the road so a few more of us can attend.

Great first effort @groaner ! I like sultry bass lines. I don’t play enough of them. Yeah, maybe a timing issue, but practice will take care of that. Great Job!
