| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: Australia | | | 22. Almost 4 years. I really suck at playing bass. I have been gigging from week one. That's right. I had been playing for 6 days before my first gig infront of 60 people. Been gigging "professionally" for 3, ie, getting paid and earning enough money to put me through uni, pay rent, food, keep my car going, etc...

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Netherlands | | Approaching 40. Playing Guitar for 22 years, bass uhm, some 9 years now. Most complicated song. hm. i sometimes trick myself into thinking i've learned something really complicated. Then i discover (time and again) that playing things correct consistently is a better indication of progress than doing so once. In short: how to measure 'complicated'?
D**n i did start lecturing again 
Have fun
