I’m not an A lister by any stretch of the imagination. Sometimes I get to hang out with them and play bass though. Most of my session/production work is at the indie level for sure.
Ok, I still think you’ve achieved quite a bit.
Major props from me to you.
NOW TAKE THAT COMPLIMENT OK!!!!!!

In my youth I practiced sight reading but have only need to read notation two or three times, so I barely even know what I’m looking at these days. Everything is the number system around here
I wasn’t too bad on Lead Sheets, standard notation.....ishhh....very very average.
Nashville number system, never tried.
IMO its the most boring thing to practice in the history of human kind.

Thats a fact!
The number system is awesome for many reasons, I think. You can track a song in a bunch of different keys without needing to rewrite the chart. That alone is a huge time savings
Before I knew the number system existed I knew something like it must exist. I’d try explaining songs to band mates with no theory, or asking how they structured their songs, but they’d just resort or fret numbers or note names in the lowest position. It was a challenge to work like that for most of my local-band life.
I went big. Herman Miller Embody Gaming edition. I had looked at the Aeron before but the seat curve was not comfortable and the mesh wasn’t supporting my back enough. So, yeah. For someone who sits as much as I do, I don’t feel bad about it. Plus the huge cardboard box it came in effectively turned my apartment into a 2 bedroom and I might sublease the box

good money to be had in a major metro area like l.a.
I want to get a new chair, but it has to have removable armrests so I can play bass or guitar with it when I want.
Those Herman Miller chairs are nice. My work-from-home office space transitions to my music space after work. I would need one without an arm rest, but that one is a nice chair!

My studio chair for over 20 years is a Herman Miller Aeron. It’s still awesome after all this time. One of the best studio investments I ever made!
I bet. That 12 year warranty helps knowing you’ll have it gif a while.
Honestly, I invested in a K&M musician stool and it’s among my favourite gear purchases ever.
