Wow, there wasn't a post for the whole month of November. I do not feel like blogging during that month because I've been busy with Pokemon, school work, movies and basically just lazy to blog.
Some of you know that I play the bass, but many do not why? I play the bass for many reasons. Firstly, there's too many guitarist but little bassist, making guitars over rated. This also means that bassist will be playing for many bands and they will be higher paid because of that shortage. Secondly, you can PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC with a bass with a technique called slap and pop, where you use your thumb to usually slap the thicker strings and pop the thinner strings. Thirdly, a bass looks menacing and intimidating because of it's sheer size.
Sometimes I regret picking up the bass mainly because of the lack of resources to teach me. Not many people play the bass so not many can teach and the best online resource for me is Dmanlamius and also ultimateguitar.com, I think. Secondly, because acoustic basses are hard to find and expensive, I seldom bring my bass out to jam with people. Lastly, my busy life hinders me from playing the bass and as of now, it is just collecting dust. Luckliy though, studying Sonic Arts has motivated me a little to pick it up again because I've improved my Music Theory and also mix with musically inclined people.
