*thinks for a minute*
Coming up on 14 years since I've picked up a bass...12 since I've picked up a bass clef instrument (trombone).
*long, gutteral sigh* Boy, does it show.
Finally made myself pick up that axe tonight...and after over 2 hours, I can ALMOST walk through a C Major scale.
I say almost because I have got to be doing something wrong with my releases...nasty fret buzz and/or ringing of the open string when I let go to move to the next note.
I don't THINK my action is set too low, but I could be wrong...
And I also say almost because I'm still not totally mentally connecting the yutz on the music staff with what my left hand is doing. Trying to jam my brain into music theory mode again is like watching my mother drive a manual transmission car...the clutch plate's burned out and parts are scattered down the road.
I'm so pissed at myself for not sticking with this back in '92...but I'm determined to rise above the suck and get proficient on this thing. I probably would have kept at it all night were my left fingertips not going numb...so at least the bug's bit, I love having that thing in my hands, even if the sounds coming out of it aren't too good right now. :D
So if any of you feel I'm getting too high on myself, or spamming the bejeebus out of the boards, just say this...
"How's Chip doing?"
...and I'll get off here and go take an overdose of humility. :oops: :wink:
P.S. Dubwise--HEEEEEEEEEELP!!!! Do you have any idea what newbie fingering mistake I'm making, not being able to transition cleanly? :-(
I know. I know. Stick a crowbar in the wallet and go get some LESSONS, you stubborn Yank. I can hear you say it. :D

:oops: Thanks!!! Our deal worked...didn't want my cowardice exposed. 8) And I didn't want to put it down once I got going!! I'm still going over stuff in my head. I definitely did the right thing here. :-D
Will you be able to tell from my crap webcam? I'm assuming I'll have to stand far back enough for you to see what both hands are doing at the same time...then the feed gets a bit fuzzy...ah well, you'll tell me what you need to see. :top
This is the beauty of the boards, folks--international cooperation. Bass playing tips across an ocean. :D
And of course how these boards get run in the first place!! :-}

How fun sitting in your little help session. Let us know how it goes.
Yeah~ the fingers and form get rusty after a prolonged break. I can't move the fingers over the keys nearly as fast as I used to. And reading bass clef~ heavens! I've lost it completely!!!! But it is fun to sit down and plunk it out~where is a good site to get Simply Red sheet music for piano?
Have fun Shannon and Dubwise :)

I know that there was sheet music put out for each album, but each book is out of print now. Hal Leonard was the U.S. publisher, you could try contacting them and see where they recommend to go. In a pinch, I have the sheet music for Picture Book, Men and Women (the first two were in a compilation book titled "Simply Red: The Words, Music, and Picture Book"--very nice!!), and Stars. Could do photocopies...
Thanks for the encouragement!! We had a lot of fun--or at least I did!! :D Martijn is a VERY patient teacher, he sussed out the problems right away, and even came up with an adaptation for my small hands. I've got some good stuff to practice now, and have a better technique to practice with!!
Tijn learned well from his mentor. :wink:
And webcam with voice chat is a beautiful thing. :-D

Oh Tijn, you patient man.... :D .... someone is really giving the "G" string a workout.... (if only... :twisted: ).... Oooooo.... I know I'm gonna get smacked... :shock:

Now THERE'S the Liz-ski we all know and love. Was hoping you'd work your magic in the States/Australia thread, but hey. :devil
Smacked? No. Blown out the back wall when you come to visit next? Maybe. :twisted: But not with the G string...the E is more effective for that sort of thing, right, Tijn? :top
As for your sly aside...no comment. (But only because I can't think of a witty retort. :doh :D )

Had fun aswell Shannon!! Was my first time giving a basslesson and i liked it lol
Yes E-string might do the trick, a G-string would only cause that she doesnt want to visit u again i think ;)

That's cool, Liz...might just take you up on that! It's Angie (Night Nurse) that's really wanting the stuff though...e-mail or PM her...
Thanks so much!!! Anything I might offer in return? Some music, perhaps? I'm not sure what you have for an SR collection...mine is rather extensive.
