Practice Unplugged

[JakeAndAirwaves]

Twice monthly I go to the middle of nowhere. I cannot take my amps.(guitar and bass). So I practice unplugged. That's no big deal. The problem is that each week, for a summer camp thing, I have 2-3 songs to learn. When I go, it is a whole week surrounding that one day. I have no Internet, so I can't look up tabs, or even listen to the songs. I cannot negotiate when I go. How do I practice around this?

Get an iPhone.

[JakeAndAirwaves]

Already have one. Posting from it right now. There, I don't get service.

There's a Guitar Pro app that stores tabs that you can get on the iPhone.

[JakeAndAirwaves]

Without Internet? I already have the ultimate guitar tabs archive app.

You know that you can get music that is printed on paper don't you? They used it in the olden days.

Yeah, you just download all the tabs when you have wifi (they take up like no space) and you can access them whenever you want

Is this a Band Camp? Are you getting the songs at camp? Please elaborate. Are you in a band and want to use your down-time to learn? Can't someone give you a list of songs so you can download ahead of time and learn from that? Do I have anymore pointless questions?

Yeah it's a band camp. I get home late at night, then leave the next day. I can print out tabs, but tabs are useless without having the song available to listen to. I don't know. Thanks for your input. Kind of a lost cause, I guess.

Isn't an iphone also an mp3 player?

Yes. MP3s cost money. I can't pay for them.

[helterschecter]

If you have a smart phone with apps type in mp3 and there are tons of sights with free music downloads

[Exploiter8]

Okay, but I thought if you could afford an iphone and the service with internet that goes along with it you could afford a few downloads. You could always download the youtube videos of songs and view them offline. I'm anti-Apple, so I don't know about their tech. But considering I'm always hearing "there's an app for that," perhaps there is.

Goodluck

Helter, I don't understand what you are saying.

X8, I just bought a new bass. It's only 1.30 per song but it adds up. There are other priorities. Honestly, I'm not old enough to work, my dad got me the phone. If I could work, I would. And when I can, in a few months, a permit doesn't get me to work without the parents. I do buy all my gear though. Money is going to a decent bass amp, not mp3s that I won't use in 4 months. But I'll figure it out.

Maybe at band camp they can teach you to read notation as well.
