This is just a warmup exercise I use before I start working on other stuff - it’s not musical, it’s physical. This is what spending several years working on 3-finger right hand plucking can do! I’m hoping to post more stuff, without spending an age on polishing it. So let me know what you think: I’m no Davie54 or whatever, but I can do this! . . . #bassist #bassguitar #bass #musician #musiciansofinstagram #music #practice #woodshed #shedding #technique<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B81kk9tAdMj/?igshid=m97j0d9sh4fh">https://www.instagram.com/p/B81kk9tAdMj/?igshid=m97j0d9sh4fh</a><br>

Open Mic Nights: a defence</h2>
I had a great gig last night with
Miles Nottage and the Rhythm and Blues Band (sort of Jools Holland
esque, but a little more eclectic - band has 3-piece brass section,
Miles on a Steinway grand (no kidding!!), guitar, 2 backing vocalists
who both doubled as Conga players and a great drummer. Tines included
Root Beer Rag by Nilly Joel, Cowboys and Angels - George Michael, and a
big-band feel cover of "Makin Whoopee" which Dr John did ages ago.<br>
<br>
The
reason I got this gig was thanks to contacts from Open Mic nights I've
donne in the past - if you can find one with a great following, and the
musicians are good, then go for it: the contacts and friends you make
will broaden your horizons in ways you didn't think possible.<br>
<br>
I even strayed WAY outside myy comfort zone by usinng the NS 5-string NXT upright on 4 tracks. Mental!<div><br></div><div><img src="blob:null/58ca89cc-685a-48ac-ac23-85693f771b28"><br>

First gig for it; could t turn up above 3(!) and it’s a 200W all valve amp. STUPID LOUD. Really happy with how it sounds, it’s gorgeous. AND IT DIDN’T TOPPLE OVER AND KILL ME. #win #bassguitar #bass #music #musician #musicianlife #musiciansofinstagram #gig<iframe src="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bkwx-Q6HD3H/embed" width="612" height="710" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true"></iframe><br />
