MONDAY 8/23/21 6:06PM--of the 18 songs I created for BASSless 3 (re-do), I can only play about seven of them without feeling like maybe I'm biting off more than I can chew...so maybe I'll sick with those seven until my fingers get used to running up and down the fretboard easily...it's entirely possible that a long scale bass isn't the best bass to start learning on...but that's what I've got, so I'm gonna keep working with it...and now that I wanna watch Bass players up close on youTube, such vids seem to be rather rare...
10:33PM--so I was at the Hershey's jam last week when a guitar player (who seemed to know me) showed up and joined in the fun...He led the band through an obscure McCartney number--I knew the guitar solo better than I knew the bass part, but I was playing Bass at the time...turns out it was the BASSIST (?) from 49 Cent Dress!!! SHEESH...how embarrassing...I wonder if I should even tell hin?
TUESDAY 8/24/21 9:48AM--after I go to CVS to get Prilosec, I'm hoping to go down to my practice space for a little while...then I'm gonna do other stuff, but I'm gonna try to sneak in some more practice...I think I'm gonna have pizza for Dinner at the Main Stage Grille--maybe,,,I'm also considering skipping Lunch altogether--breakfast was unhealthy enough...
11:30AM--I need to learn to be more economicable when I'm playing Bass...nervous about going to the Main Stage open mic with just a Bass, but if I had to, I think Max would let me play thru his rig...I guess the only Bass player I'll be closely watching is Ruth, unless some other real Bassists show up...and I might have to go out to see other Bands on the weekend more often...before we get back to being quarantined...
2:16PM--the more I practice, the better I'll get...the better I get, the less I'll wonder if I made a mistake thinking I could play Bass...
