Old Guys & 21st Century Gizmos

[brianrost]

I'd be lying if I said I don't take advantage of modern technology, but at the end of the day I still have to put in the work. Watching all the Scott's Bass Lessons video in the universe does not replace practicing as many hours a day every day as I can.

There is more information available these days than when I started playing bass 45 years ago and time stretching software is a lot easier than wearing out my records playing the same two bars 100 times when trying to figure out the notes.

With guitar, I play 20th century gizmos like a 50s 5e3 tweed amp, and vintage 74 princeton reverb amp, along with a 70s strat. No fx needed.

After reading this thread and the one about learning new songs note for note, i decided to see what i could do with modern technology and an hour of my time.
I learned Wild Nights (Van Morrison version) note for note with time to spare

I’m living proof that all the gizmos in the world mean SFA to my bass playing ability. And my golf game fo that matter.
