    P Bass and the Grammys

    to play that groove, and hit all the dance steps the bassist for bruno mars did, i would have to say, he's a pretty good bass player. to say there weren't any good bass players that played the grammy's is a bit of a bold statement. pretty sure none of us knows what each of those bass players is...

    Should you always alternate between fingers when playing fingerstyle?

    do what's ever comfortable for you, i'll alternate if i'm paddling or doing a gallop, sometimes using three fingers, other times when i'm doing a punch/mute thing in 8th notes i'll use just one finger, i have more control for some reason that way. i basically just do whatever feels naturally...

    band micro managing

    as far as the other band, they know he's involved in this other project, they were against it in the beginning, he told them i'm doing it, if you have a problem you can replace me, they eventually cooled down, now it is not a problem... we all know each other and have jammed together... there...

    i hear you guys. here's the deal. this other band he's in, while probably the top band in town, he hates it because of the songs they do , la bamba, summer of 69, mony mony just to name a very few, nothing wrong with those songs if you're into them, that's just not his cup of tea or ours for...

    band micro managing

    to his defense, it's taken this long to put a show together due to the lead guitar player problems i stated earlier, it literally took us over a year to find one, so that's what took so long, but we've been at this hard core for a good three months now... i'm not saying book a show for next...
