School of Rock, You Give Love a Bad Name by Bon Jovi - YouTube - we struggled on the ending, and I don’t do the octaves during the chorus. But still super fun…

Pretty nice bass playing there @cbaray
You even started smiling towards the end, looks like it was a good time.

I love your floating thumb technique. When I do it, my fingers get tangled up but I am working on it.

Ha. I am self conscious about my bass face. Usually, I’m smiling cause I recognize a mistake I made or someone else made, or one we usually make and didn’t make…I feel like it’s a tell! The ending - lots of opportunities to make mistakes, so of course I’m smiling…

Dang, that was a great cover! I wish the bass was a little higher in the mix… It was very well played though! Nice picking action! :smiley:

We made it. I hope you have your hair spray and spandex ready…

What a ride this has been working on all these songs. I started this journey in late July 2023 and it’s been really rewarding. Also frustrating at times but I stuck with it all the way and I’m glad I did.

:metal: :pbass:

@JoshFossgreen May I have the honor of being awarded the completion badge? :smiley:
