i broke my elbow yesterday and it looks like its going to be another 3 or more weeks before i can use my left arm again. so,...what do you guys think i should do with the 2-4 hours i spend daily playing bass?
i was thinking i could write some stuff in finale or cakewalk, anything else you folks recomend? maybe some inspirational literature or some theory books? basically, what do you folks do when you can't play? |
