So Saturdays are our official practice days, and though lately we haven't had Phil around a whole lot (college is a pain), we are, as Corey said on our facebook page, making immense amounts of progress. As of now, our set consists of 7 complete songs, and more than 5 in the making. Hah, and I can assure you that within the week, the number of songs in the making will go up a few. We just can't help writing stuff at home as well. Three hours of practice a day is bound to yield some results.
Speaking of practice, I've been spending some time watching bass instructional videos on youtube to see if I can learn anything. I have to say, John Myung is the man. His instructional video, "Progressive Bass Concepts," is absolutely killer, mostly because it's not just about the technique, but also the concept and theory of the bass guitar. So if you're a bass player with a 6 (or 5) string, this is definitely a video to check out. What the heck, here's a link to the first part: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojlS-eKPE84
And here's a random picture of John Myung, just because I felt like it:
Epic, no? Well it makes me happy.
Again, I am selling two bass effect pedals if anyone is interested. The money goes to a good cause (that is to say, a 6 string for me).
And be sure to buy tickets from one of the band members for our battle of the bands on Wednesday the 29th! Very important that you show up and scream your heads off. That, too, goes to a good cause (that is to say, us becoming the biggest band in the world.)
Thanks for all you have already done for us!
