Slapping the Bass

Bass

Very pleased with todays session. I started by attempting the Slap and Pop technique. I'm not quite sure if I can explain it, I'm going to have to have another watch of the tutorial again. Slapping the guitar is striking the string with your thumb. Popping is pulling on the string and muting with a twist of the wrist. I think.

I attempted Burnished. Higher Ground, Jules and Run Back To Your Side as a set and played well enough to get a double encore. The encore songs were Are You Gonna Go My Way and  Go With The Flow. I think the bass line for the latter is harder than the guitar version!

A few things unlocked today Avacado Emporium tone, Auto Detune tone and the Space Ostrich song.

 

The new set is at the Pacific Gardens with Islands, Next Girl, Vasoline, I Miss You, Chimney and Space Ostrich. Islands is the only one that I need to qualify with now. I would have given it a try today, as my best score so far is only 6000 points away from qualifying, but I was getting tired.

I played 11 songs for 42 minutes. I have played for 13 hours 50 minutes in total with 9986 hours 9 minutes to go before I reach the point at which you are supposed to become an expert at an activity.

It has been 32 days since I have played all of the songs I have been practising. It will take 3 hours 26 minutes to play through them all in one session.
