Heck yes Angel! Keep it up! I've been sober for the last 3 weeks and I've been playing guitar every day. It's getting to the point where the positive feedback loop of seeing myself skilling up is keeping me motivated. Wishing you all the best, and keep making music!
Okay, picking mine up. Haven't practiced in forever and noticing I got worse. I.must regain my powers.
Hell yeah
I always prac some Mike Watt tunes no matter what i'm doing. Great warm ups.
Funk yeah! What kind of bass do you have?
Yamaha!
Nice. I mostly play keys these days but I have a fender jazz bass.
Awesome, good work ^^
What kind of bass do you have?
I have a Yamaha. I got it as a completely free Christmas gift from a customer at my last job. It was a married middle-aged woman who talked to me about jazz a lot. I told her that I hadn't been able to play bass in a long time because I left my father's house and all my equipment was still there. I didn't get into too many personal details, but he kicked me out for being queer, so that's how I got to that point. This customer walked in around Christmas time with a Yamaha, and her son took a picture with me holding it because he loves music.
Oh that's awesome, have seen a few nice Yamaha guitars c:
kicked me out for being queer
Many such cases..
That's a really nice personal anecode, I'n sure the woman and her son would be hapoy to hear that you've gotten back to playing. I'm happy for you too.
Hell yeah. Iβve got a Yamaha fretless I got from an uncle that I stare at and make βboi-oi-oingβ noises with. My regular bass is a Jackson (fretted) because, despite a year of practice and lessons, I still canβt hack a fretless lol
Fuuuuuck yes love to see other bassists on chacha
RIP your fingers, amazing work!
woah nice!! 
i should get back to finding an instrument online
Hell yeah, bassist comrades stay winning. I better go practise too tbh, I haven't played that much bass this summer
Haven't played mine in ages, it might be time to dust it off
Another Black bassist yessss
Fuck Matt and Trey, but I must...
Wholeheartedly agree but this is acceptable lol
That's great! I've been struggling to solder some buttons on a broken keyboard I wanted to repair. I'm really not good on starting shit on my own, I wish I had musician friends π₯Ί
