Been working on the floating left hand technique this week. Sustain is awesome
Awesome. I'm giving my plucking fingers a rest and have been blowing on the strings as hard as I can. I've actually managed to "play" a few notes of "The Wind Cries Mary".
Remember, it's the notes you don't play that make you sound good.
The Floating Thumb Technique is taught for free by the Red Cross.
They also teach "How to revive a dying genre" and first aid for when you poke yourself in the eye with a string that just broke.

Sadly, while perfecting the floating left hand technique, my speakers burst into flames due to underpowering them
I've been trying to master that technique and have become very proficient on the notes G, D, A and E. now all I need is a song that only utilizes those four notes.
That wouldn't happen if you used tube watts instead of solid state watts, everyone knows tube watts are stronger.
Riff rock is on the rise. Very soon, radio stations across the country will be changing format to accommodate the new trend.

In Hamburg the club manager said "Mak Schau" to the Beatles, which many have interpreted as "Put on a show", but since it is well known that Macca was the worst bassist in the world (although a better drummer than Ringo) the correct translation is "Go and make shoes [instead]", or as the British would say " Your music is cobblers".
Rubber Soul was inspired by a cobbler who only made shoes with rubber soles.
Don't worry, you'll be a great punk rock bassist.
To save on materials and labor, basses will be fretted in a more economical way. Frets will stop after the fourth position, as the next string can be used instead. Only the highest pitched string will retain the full number of frets.
The full number of frets being five.
Which only applies for short scale basses of course.
"IN THE COURT OF THE BITCOIN KING"
If you watch Tommy Wiseau's "The Room" and listen to "Alice Cooper Goes to Hell" at the same time, they sync up perfectly.
Same thing with the who's TOMMY&THE GRINCH WHO STOLE CHRISTMAS.
Exactly. A lot of bands are just plain tired of playing the same old songs all the way through at gigs (and in the studio).
The new trend is to introduce the song, play the first two bars, then say "How was that folks? Hoped you liked it as much as we did....thank you! thank you!" then take a fifteen minute break.
