Slowly but surely, I’m building an unplanned “book” of songs I’m learning on guitar and others on bass. It’s proving to be good for my mental health.

I’m gonna have one helluva setlist for a concert that will never be heard outside of my living room.

Lots of buttons to step on thanks to Salma (my pedalboard). Lots of strings to pick and pluck, courtesy of Sisko (the bass) and The Menace. Here we go!

The power went out yesterday evening. Kinda threw off my planned schedule. So, I took a nap.

Naturally, this meant I was no longer tired by the time the lights came back on. So, here I am at 1 in the morning, workshopping an idea. #bass #practice #sterlingmusicman #stingray5

Solace. Practice. Searching for those elusive notes. I know they’re out there. I can almost hear them.

Sanctuary:

Four instruments, each serving its own purpose toward a common aim.

A four-part suite has been burning a hole in my head. So, while I learn to play better, I also work toward that piece.

Busy, busy. #cirdecsongs

It’s #Bass Guitar 101 this evening. Found a cool guy on YouTube whose first lesson is hand positions. I was able to transfer that lesson to playing with Tony Levin on King Crimson’s “Industry.” I hope he doesn’t mind.
