Started playing more during my iso. Man, I am bad at this, LOL. Just playing along to Ye Olde iPod, and can't seem to remeber how to find a root note for a song. Just call me Ol' Tin Ear.

Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

It's all good. Once it comes back it will come back with a vengeance. My fiancee described my ability to pick out songs just by listening to them as impressive to the point of being frightening.
I've been putting a lot of work into modes and playing everything over two octaves or locked in one position. That alone is doing wonders for my ear.
I'll unfortunately admit to struggling to find the root and seemingly going all over the fretboard only to realise I was out of tune after a while.
I am very smart.
One day at a time. I took me a year to really start rebuilding my chops and getting my ear back. When it doubt just practice your scales. Below are two vids that have really helped me with learning the fretboard and beginning to understand how the modes related back to each key.
What I think makes this vid so effective is that it gets you to think about the notes in a key versus just learning the 'shape' of a mode or a scale.
On Friday, I'll head over to dad's and drill four (4!!!) enclosures! One signal router, two expression connectors, and an upgrade to my muff. The routing part of things is almost done on my board. I'm using all but one of the patchbay slots now (the USB). Still haven't tried the Behringers I added a couple of weeks ago but I should be done with maintenance by the end of the week. Things are coming together. Haven't gotten much playing done lately but I'm brimming with ideas that need to be developed right now.
Was digging through some old photos and found this chestnut from a louder time.
I should re-learn that too. I can't even find notes on my fretboard anymore. Never played with anyone aside from my drummer, so I really didn't practice that at all, but it's quite embarassing.
Oh, who am I kidding? Actually I don't care
LOL. I hear you, brother.I should re-learn that too. I can't even find notes on my fretboard anymore. Never played with anyone aside from my drummer, so I really didn't practice that at all, but it's quite embarassing.

Haven't talked to Max in a while, not since I saw Sleep in Milwaukee and that's going on two years! Time flies. Been chatting w/Turkeypillz and catching up with him a bit.
do you do this stuff professionally, or do you just like to solder things?
Ariane Cap is a really good teacher. All her pratice drills are very musical as well.
I'm just a hobbyist who always ends up with very precise specifications and has to reinvent the wheel every other week
I don't think I'll ever get into manufacturing pedals commercially. I definitely want to design some (I guess I kind of already am doing just that), but it's not really economically feasible to produce commercially until you get to a large enough scale. I'll probably stick to open source/design where applicable, anyhow. Ought to draft a few blog posts documenting stuff so maybe others can learn a bit from my mistakes

Well tinkering at home for yourself is kind of the best... especially if you can share the product in some kind of way with others. Going professionally on producing pedals might be very hard if you don't know famous artists to promote your stuff etc.
Now I wish, I'd live in the countryside and have my own workshop to play around with electronics.
Always wanted to build from a kit with some modification ideas.
It only takes a little space and a soldering iron. I fit my works in a shoe box. If you’re sheltering in place, could be a good time to order up a kit.
