Song 2 - "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Agree with above - and you are rushing the beat - which in the beginning is usually from nerves and/or not enough practice.

The groove is #1, maybe spend more time on timing to ensure you get this nailed early. You’re better off playing the wrong note at the right time than the right note at the wrong time.

Thank you for your feedback. Indeed, I had trouble keeping up with the backing track on this one; I’ll try to pay more attention to it next time.

Here is my second song! It took me quite a lot of practice to play the eighth‑note sections a bit better.
Let’s go for the third one!

GREAT JOB!

First of all - this once again proves that Squier basses are amazing, grat tone. Bit high in the mix but great for this type of feedback process.

Here and there a bit rushing the beat and a couple off groove notes, but really not that bad at all, this comes with time and players being overall more comfortable.

I did notice a wrong note played - but - it was on the groove, so didn’t really matter!

That said, I would say you are well ahead of the curve. Keep it up!

Thanks @John_E !!!

It is my first bass, so I have no idea if it’s good or not. I like the sound, it was cheap, and some people recommended it on the internet, so… I bought it. Thanks for your approval :slightly_smiling_face:

I made a tempo mistake in the first bar… so that’s my level :slightly_smiling_face: What I notice—and really like—is that the first time I recorded the song, it was much worse. I let a few days pass and kept practicing other songs/lessons, and when I went back to it, I felt more comfortable. I really like that feeling.

Now I’m curious to know which note was wrong…
Thanks again for the feedback, and I’m really happy to be playing songs after only two months with the bass.

My first was a Squier CV ‘70s jazz, still love it although heavily modded/upgraded.

Homework - listen and find it, lol

You should take a couple of weeks off then quit playing. What a lame attitude. Trolls are not welcomed.

Absolutely. Don’t pay any heed to trolls, there are other ways of dealing with them.

We play Bad Moon in the band, it’s a cool song and always goes down well!
