My bass playing isn’t bad. It’s not what I’d call GOOD, but it’s not bad. Between the bass & the bits of percussion that I’ve been able to add, I feel like I’ve made a minor contribution to the instrumentals we’ve recorded.

It’s not really THAT difficult & hubby HATES it because (for him) it’s boring. It’s more than enough to keep me challenged, though.
He also bought me a tambourine & some shakers.
We’re laying down a lot of music tracks for some of the other writers in town & he seems intent on making me actually PLAY on some of them. If all I have to do to keep him happy is play a little cowbell, then life is pretty good.

so I’m sitting in. I’ve never played bass before so this should be a trip.

Practise man, practise! By the end of the year I want to be able to play the guitar better than Eric Clapton, Joe Satriani, Jimi Hendrix and Tommy Emmanuel put together.

I want to be able to play a song somebody recognizes. And to be lean enough in my fingers to start the band coach thing, if i want to.
I want to start with playing one of the songs from the nick cave book my love gave to me.

I’m going to start with teaching myself Monkey’s Gone to Heaven and then Wave of Mutilation. I found the guitar tabs online.

Thankfully, hubby will be there to back me up so I won’t have to carry the whole show… I can handle rhythm, but I’m glad he’s got lead…

Tonight I tuned my guitar. At last! I played a few chords but I feel really out of touch. I think I’d like to get some private lessons. I did some lessons last year but the tutor was terrible (really disorganised and way too many students) and I just didn’t really get excited by playing ‘what shall we do with the drunken sailor’. I will investigate this further.

I really want to play my guitar more. The thing is getting myself to sit down and do it. When I start playing I think, “Oh man, this is awesome. I need to do this more.” Bleh.
