today was pretty ok, i think. but i felt that bassing the same song over and over again using the same scales is pretty boring. pentatonic, pentatonic and more pentatonic. it's very repetitive though. it's quite fun too, played with max and hui jia. her expression was priceless whn we hit the jabs, she just stopped and stared at us. haha. hope all of us learnt something today through jamming. i really like jamming nowadays, especially just drums and bass. just pure pounding on both sides, shannon with some weird rhythm and i'll be struggling to keep up with him. as for mandy, i'm more comfy, coz he's not at shannon's crazy caliber, which i can relate to him quickly. all very fun.
last wed, charlene's pop chinese, performance wise was pretty messed up but the preparation was very fun. got funny funny chords and i try to break my pentatonic scalings as my fill-ins. sounds pretty good for starters, but very boring for pips that really want variation. my bass solos as well, boring, pentatonic boredom. break it baby!
cant wait for attachment for the cash. new bass new bass! hope there's some good deals for 2nd hand basses, i'm looking out for stingray, MIJ Fender JB. slap machines. the squier's pretty in bad shape now, dun wanna go for repairs coz the difficulty is there for my finger training, so whn i hit on a better guitar, i get to perform better, i hope.
by next sem i should get a bass teacher, since sean got nothing much to teach, except for music theory and some guitar stuff. wah, come skills, come... can i go pro then?
