The video tells all … :( · Play Better Bass

The video tells all … :(

WOW! It is WEIRD to see video of oneself playing bass. When we record the church livestream, the mix isn’t what is in the house and usually it sounds SOOO bad I don’t go back and listen. Today we had a pro come in and work the sound and EVERYONE was commenting after service about how good the sound was in the house. This was also a hard set for me this week … there was one song with weird syncopation and another that the WL didn’t have time to go over with me ahead of time … so ...

I decided to watch it. Besides looking at how my bald spot keeps expanding, my waistline also is expanding … and I came in a few places wrong and the bass in the house didn’t sound like what I thought I was playing … SIGH.

It’s damn easy to get frustrated. I know I can’t be a pro after only playing bass for almost two years … and I know that I’m way better than I was when I started … I hate the “stuck” feeling.

I think sometime this week I’ll go back and watch the video again and try to be less critical of my “goofs” and make a few notes on what I did “right!”

Apologies for the long post! Happy week to all!
