Man, you’re not kidding! 
You’ll see that in all my fingerstyle videos because I can’t seem to make it stop doing that! 
I’ve even been meaning to start a thread up asking if anybody else has suffered from and been able to overcome this affliction so I can figure out how to.
If I focus too much on getting it to stay put, it distracts from my playing and I make a bunch of dumb mistakes. And as soon as I stop trying to make it behave… boing! There it goes, off to the other room.
I’m still entertaining the possibility of taping it to my ring finger for a while to train it not to fly away.

Well… did a couple, but in typical youtube fashion, “blocked in some countries” (kinda butchered bits of the first one anyway I suppose, so…
)
But we’ll try anyway… lol
Audioslave - I Am The Highway
Kasabian - Re-Wired

I’ve been doing personal monthly song challenges and February was originally going to be Cult of Personality but I’m not quite ready for it yet lol. Hopefully later this year I can do it. So to make up for it I made February a monthly theme with 14 songs throughout the month for Valentine’s Day.
Here was a fun one I learned:
Fifty Fifty - Cupid

Just to prove that I can do a bit more than chug 8ths!
This is an interpretation of the bass line from Duffy’s song, Mercy. I say an interpretation because I think the original was recorded on a 5-string and I have a 4, meaning I could not get to a 5th below the low G. Having done my own thing there, I then improvised around other parts of the song, just for fun!
I actually first heard this song in a shop last summer, just after I started to learn the bass. I could not play it then, but I can now 
I love the groove this song has! I even threw in a bit of dad dancing
Duffy - Mercy
One again, it’s the Dingwall into the Scarlett Solo, then on into GarageBand on a iPhone, with the video shot on second iPhone.

I probably rushed this a bit, I just learned it yesterday and thought it would be a good idea to make a video. I love this song though and the bass is just so cool. I think what I ended up with sounds good, the part in the middle though, I just forgot where I was and… eh… whatever. It was fun to use the Squier 40th Anniversary on this one.
The Cure - Sinking
been playing bass since march 2020
original bass removed with Moises

So. first ever cover by yours truly. Please discount the opening line, I’ve yet to figure out how to add a count in in Ableton. Played with more passion than precision I think, but had a blast doing this.
