I started something at the end of last year and some of you might find this useful. I started recording chunks of my practice and uploading it to the internet like a fool 😂
Couple of reasons:
• It's building a digital practice log that future me can look back at my progress
• I'm going to push myself to be better as it's in the public domain
• It will help grow and build a community of bassists that will push each other further
• I have a baby on the way so will not be pushing for touring or a lot of abroad work this coming summer
Too often we only see the polished, 12th take insta version so I'm taking one for the team lol... but 6 months to a year from now 👀 Well I guess we'll come back to this post and see if any progress was made.
But here I'm working on getting more melodic minor and 'out there' spacey sounds into my playing with upper structures just over cantaloupe island. WARTS and all!
Thinking dorian or melodic minor of the Fm7, Mixolydian or lydian dominant over the Db7 (Ab melodic minor) and dorian or melodic minor over the Dm7
Drop a video of you playing over the changes in the VIDEO SUBMISSIONS category. If you do it in the main chat I'll have to take it down and ask you to re-upload it in the right place. There's a chord chart and backing track attached to this post. You can just hold down the bass or go for it! We'll use this to see progress over the next coming months.
