Itās a truly great and unique body shape, always loved it.
Great job dude!
Thanks man! 
A lot of the list really isnāt my thing. I donāt hate this one but it isnāt one Iād have picked for myself. I kinda want to work on these because of that though. When I find folks to play with, it isnāt always going to be playing stuff I love so this is good practice.
Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall pt. 2
A great start indeed! Well done.
Great job!! Enjoyed it.
Hey guys!
Last week I started the 50 Songs challenge with this song. To be able to really track my progress, I decided to make 3 recordings for each song: 1st kinda immediately, showing the current skills. 2nd after one week of practice, 3rd after 2 weeks of practice (because thatās what the 50 songs in 100 weeks challenge essentially breaks down to).
So hereās the first recording, after practicing this song for 2 days, meaning like 20 playthroughs:
Youāll notice that my microtiming is off here and there, which I had not even noticed until I saw my own recording! Due to my bad cold I had catched, I could not play during the whole following week.
But still, I wanted to be true to myself and made the 2nd recording of this song and I came to a stunning conclusion, like: this is the ultimate proof that the brain is doing its work even when youāre not constantly playing. Why? Because I was sick during that week and could not practice a thing. So before I recorded the 2nd take, I was playing through the song like 5 times to get back into it. And now see / hear yourself:
Isnāt that incredible?? I mean, itās still not perfect, but itās SO much better than the first take, it totally blew my mind! =D Iām hyped and looking forward to next weekend. Letās see if I can nail this with the 3rd recording!
What do you think??
P.S.: Yes, the āoddā picture settings are intended, as I wanted to make it easier to focus on the music and playing rather than on the visuals. =)
Recording yourself is a GREAT way to see for yourself how you are getting better
Great Job!! And wikkid good tone manā¦ seriously
Keep going through these ( even if you think the song sucks ā¦ there are quite a few for meā¦ why Iām not doing them in order ā¦ LOL )
Itās all about learning and improving
Thank you so much! 
Well I am a huge Pink Floyd Fan, grew up to it, thanks to my Dad, so I could play this song all day and wouldnāt get tired of it. But there are some songs in the list that I am not quite looking forward toā¦ 
Will play them, though, because Iām sure Josh had some kind of masterplan (or idea at least ) when he was putting together this selection of songs!
Regarding the tone, there is a difference between the two videos, too. First video - old, very dead Fender roundwound strings, they were surprisingly good for this particular song.
Second video - fresh hybrid slinky Ernie Ball roundwounds.
Third video - will come with fresh Flatwounds (current strings going to my other bass which needs new strings actually) because I miss the ādeadā sound, lel.
String dramaā¦ I have yet to deal with ā¦ The strings I SWORE byā¦ no longer existā¦ so I need to find a replacementā¦
Blue Steel went the way of the dodoā¦ 
Good job on both.
What do you mean by āmicro-timingā?
And what did you āseeā?
What I hear isā¦
- a very good recording both times, timing generally good, esp for a beginner, maybe a slight lag overall in both at times but nothing Iād waste time drilling down to fix, as, well, tighter timing comes with, wait for itā¦time.
Tone is great btw.
Iād move on vs recording yourself 3x, you will learn a lot more from playing a variety of things.
Hey John, thanks a lot!
Well, by microtiming I mean microtiming. xDD Exactly what you describe, the slight lag here and there. Thatās microtiming. The timing is not completely off, but also not quite accurate.
Iām not really a beginner, I just had a break from music for several years and before that break, I played bass for like 1 year or so. So, yes, I AM a beginner, though Iām not starting from scratch.
But this is also the reason why Iām trying to nail the songs. I want to have it really baked into my brain so that Iām āfree to playā, to listen to the other band members, to play with muscle memory so that I have the capacity to change and improve my overall playing, for example regarding dynamics, staccato, etc. This is not possible as long as oneās still glued to the sheet music, imho
Yesterday I practiced this song again and I already got to the point where I can play with my eyes closed and need no sheet music anymore, also no need to stare at my fretboard all the time. This is what I call major improvements, and this is what I want. =) Iām so looking forward to the 3rd recording!
Okayyyy guyyyys, itās that time of the week again 
- hereās my third and final recording of Another Brick in the Wall, after practicing this for 2 weeks and before Iām moving on to the next song.
The differences between the three recordings are really interesting and Iām glad I decided to track my progress that way.
Still played on Roundwounds, Flats coming next week finally. =) And still a little buzz here and there, but now itās good enough for me to move on.
Hope you like it!
Great job @firefly !
Thank you!! 
Great job! Lovin the tone, sounds bang on
Thank you so much, man! Appreciate it! 
Nice job @firefly !
I do hear some note length issues here and there but voerall well played.
Fantastic tone.
Note length issues? You probably mean that bridge part in the end, right before the guitar solo, I guess? That was not a note length issue, it was an itching nose issue - you can see me raising my hand to quickly rub my nose and suppress sneezing. 
I decided on the fly to play all those few notes shorter to make it sound even at least. And to me itās still good enough to move on because that situation was just bad luck. 
But thank you!! Probably gonna get back to this song and record it again next January. For the science.
