Had some fun learning the synth bass line to Bad Guy, and of course, the synth melody in the post-chorus. Had a tab for the synth bass that was ALMOST accurate, but learned the melody by ear. If anyone wants a tab, I can find a way to create one =] Bonus points for anyone who finds the note(s) that I learned wrong 😬

Learning things is cool. That's why we're here. Having an awesome support group along for the ride is just as important. Now that there are some lessons up, I thought it would be cool for anyone who had a win this week to share it. It can be that you got through a handful of lessons, or you had a solid practice with your band. No win is too small! I'll start. My band managed to book shows for every weekend in September. Usually we play over Labor Day, and then we are on break until after Christmas, so I am super stoked to be playing all month. What's your win?

Hey y'all! 🌍 I'm Nick, and I live in Denton, TX (30 minutes north of Dallas/Fort Worth) 🎵 I've been playing bass on and off for the last 16 years or so - took a long break while I went to college for a music degree as a percussionist, kinda picked it back up about 8 years ago when I started learning electric/acoustic guitar, then have been playing in my church worship band 1-2 times a month ever since. I feel like I have the basics down, but would love to apply my understanding of music to the fretboard more fluently! 💡 I figure this community would be a great place to get pointers on what concepts or skills to practice and master next; and I certainly hope I can provide encouragement and, on occasion, a different perspective that might help someone have that "aha" moment on something, given my experience as a marching band director, jazz drummer, and musician outside of the specifics of bass guitar! 📸 My current bass is an Ibanez SR205EDX 5-string active bass, with some DR Black Beauty strings (I think it really pops!) 𖫲🎸 My favorite bassist is difficult to answer. In the context of a band, would probably have to be Mickey Madden (Maroon 5). Songs About Jane was is one of my all time favorite albums. But I am amazed and inspired by Victor Wooten. So musical, man
