Draconator Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 8 hours ago, WhoTom said: Nice! I hope you don't mind, but I'll share some that I recently recorded too ... also against my better judgement. I didn't start playing guitar until my mid-40s, which is a bad time to develop fine motor skills. I find rhythm guitar to be much more forgiving than lead, so that's what I do. These are three of the more difficult songs that I can sort of play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FENzcimlzjs&list=PLHxhswzl1jOzVmQpoa_xo6D-IEqIRrFJs A rhythm guitarist is just as important as a lead guitarist. Nice work on all the songs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to self-reported polling data, the average TBDer is 6'3", has 5% body fat, makes about $500,000 a year and spends his free time analyzing which super models are fit to bed. You don’t fit this description? BTW you are a little light on pay 💰. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some flub ups in each of the video's. I didn't select easy songs. (Like 8 of the 9 videos are Rush). The only thing I ask, is please be gentle. But I would like to get your feedback. And maybe I should practice these songs again so I can remember how to play them... https://vimeo.com/kenhoffman Ken, that was very cool. Thanks for sharing that part of your life. I aspire to play bass - have aspired for a long time! I particularly enjoyed Billie Jean. That is such a great bass groove. I gotta learn that one.

As for Billie Jean, no song builds up strength in your left hand more than that song. I was surprised that although you're not running up and down the fretboard, your hand can become quite fatigued while playing it. (At least that's what I found). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon in Pasadena Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 A year late and $365 short, but kudos to you on your playing & courage to put it out there. I think you sound good. I've always loved bass & played for a while in a garage band during/after college, but never took it any further. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that you are doing something YOU love to do in your life and shared it with us 🙂 Im partial to bass in rock music anyway. It's the instrument my son plays. He rocks a black Gibson Ripper 1973 (same guitar as Gene Simmons from KISS) Keep on rockin' bro! m Edited August 24, 2022 by muppy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
