Thanks @howard plenty of missed notes though but better than miss-placed I guess. Lol

Hey you did it @John_E I agree it’s not easy to keep up the entire song you gotta keep your concentration up or you’d hit a ghost note, I tried a few bars and just waved my hand, lol.
Like the tone and how you just plow through it. I’m taking you up on the “One day Challenge”. It’s kinda fun. I recorded last night and about to edit now.

Cover #2 - Blu De Tiger - Vintage
I discovered Blu in last year when she was featured in a pair of Chromeo songs. Got the chance to see her group back in June when she toured with Bleechers. It’s a really fun show and she is definitely an awesome bass player.
Love this tune and while the bass lines aren’t super hard she uses a lot of slides in this song. My fingers don’t have the callouses yet so I took some liberties. Spent all day on this one and not completely happy with it but it’s time to give the hands a rest and perhaps revisit soon.
Also - big props to Blu for allowing covers of her music on Youtube.

Good job Cheezy @cheeze_pizza I like songs that let you travel up and down the neck. A few more runs you are good to go.

This is a @John_E One day song challenge. I thought it was a great idea.
Here’s one of a few VulPeck songs I can play in any amount of time, lol.
Love is a wonderful thing by VulPeck

Music Man Sabre switch position 5 neck pickup and the mute pads fully engaged
Music Man Cutlass well the only position they have, lol.
Sorry I messed up on the editing on LumaFusion and after upload I deleted the files, first time I’ve done that to create the empty space for the next songs and but the time I found out it was too late. I’ll give you that second and half here, … there you have it, lol.

Really mellow vibes Al. I really enjoyed that. The bass sliding around under those harmonies was especially pleasant.

This is one of the harder one for sure especially for bass not the technicality but the songs takes you up and down the emotional roller coaster and the bass lines repeats for the most parts showing off all of the wonderful soloists. They all got their rocks off and the Bass just rinse and repeat, lol.
