Whats up BassBuzz gang,
After finishing the B2B course and feeling lost for a few months bouncing between all sorts of different exercises, I have decided to actually go through this 50 songs challenge. I was sort of just half-learning songs and feeling too nervous to record myself so hopefully committing to this will give me that “evidence” of improvement that Josh talks about and will get me comfortable with playing full songs/recording. 1 down, 49 to go baby.
Very well done @justindneeley ! Welcome to the Forum and congratulations on finishing the B2B course!
Awesome job!!
I’m stuck between finishing the course or resuming the challenge! I think I’ll try to finish the course first! Seems like it worked super well for you.
Excited to see your other challenge songs!
This is exactly what makes the 50 songs great.
It is a backbone you can always come back to while finding your way.
You did great here - welcome to the challenge.
I heard one note, maybe two out of whack - otherwise pure gold!
Good Job. I have the same bass! Plays and looks great for an entry level model.
Cool! Well done! 
I put the backing track in my DAW(Reaper) and set the bpm to 105, but when I play the song it just sounds slow. Was there something else to be done?
Did you set the BPM after inserting the track? Reaper defaults to 120 BPM when you start a new project. If you inserted the track when it was set to 120, changing to something less afterwards will slow down the playback.
Thanks. Listened to the song on different platforms and apparently it’s just how it sounds to me. More the vocals than instruments.
In most DAWs, if you do not set the DAW BPM correctly for the song at the start, then when you change it later (so the measures will line up correctly) it will timestretch all the tracks by default.
You can change this behaviour in most daws per-track for it to be absolute vs synced to the project BPM.
This is one reason why I stress to people that the most important thing to do when making a new DAW project is to set the BPM correctly, because otherwise it is kind of a PITA when you change it later.
Hello Gang,
This would be my first recording I have done. I’m sure by the time I have reached the 50th song I would have figured out how to do all this better.
Great first video! Welcome to the challenge! Keep it up. Nice timing. Nice tone.
Starting at the beginning: Song #1 - Another Brick In the Wall - Pink Floyd
This is gonna be a fun list! 
Sounds great!
Thanks!
Thats an ESP LTD F series bass? Dayum! I had an F Series guitar way back when … they are pretty hot lookin… when it comes to funky shapes… I love the F-Series
Also… Great job!
Always loved the F-series and that one (the natural wood color) in particular.
Yeah got mine in '08. When I was in Okinawa I had a 4 string Grassroots version in natural too.
It’s like an evil tree, I love it
