hey ali :wave:

i'm good! got a lot of stuff done at school today - i've nearly finished this painting project that we have due in a few weeks & yeah, i'm pretty stoked about that :) oh! and i had a nice old jam on the bass with my flatmate lastnight...rock on :rockon:
how about you? still at work?
 
Woohoo! Bass jam... :drool: Does your flatmate play guitar then?
I've never played with anyone, unless you count my bass teacher from 5 years ago... :reject:

Nah, I'm home now... thinking I should go do some practice, actually :D

What sort of painting project is it? Do we get to see pictures? :wink:
 
she plays keyboard/piano, so yeah...i'm so lad she suggested it...had a fun old time! didn't feel so bad about my playing either - i think things are sinking in & i'm a bit more co-ordinated now that i'm more used to playing it...
haha! surprisingly, with my obsession for documenting things with my phone, i have totally neglected to do so with my painting! the project is really cool actually....we grid up a piece of paper/canvas/board/etc with 64 10cmx10cm squares, and along each side we list a particular medium and so what happens is we can only use a particular medium in certain squares - and they all overlap so you get this mad looking mixed-media type experiment. i've only taken one picture...when i had barely done anything! haha! and now i've nearly finished....so much for charting progress!
 
*gets distracted by Caption thread* Sorry :D

The jam sounds awesome... I think I'd be too embarrassed to do that, although one of my piano-playing friends and I keep talking about getting together and bashing out New Year's Day, since we both know that one (sort of) :wink:

That does sound like a cool project... I wanna see it now :) So by medium, do you mean like acrylic paint on one side, pencils on another, pastels, watercolours, etc?
 
*eating dinner*

oh i stuff up all the time! but i dunnow, i think i pick up enough to get by....i'm just trying to start with basslines that are a bit easier...

yeah...graphite (pencil), charcoal, acrylic, oil paint, etc and yeah, they all mix & match...it's interesting to see what happens when certain mediums mix together...

*also eating dinner* Mmm, sausages.

You can't go past WOWY for an easy bassline :D

:lmao: that was the first song I wanted to learn! It's simple, but IMO also his best! :drool:

vertigo is pretty easy too...
 
I was listening to music with a pair of headphones last night, because I tend to pick up a lot of detail that way that I miss when I just turn on the stereo, and I was thinking to myself as I listened to WOWY that the bass line in that really defined the entire song :up:


:lol: great minds and all of that, I guess, Eh?
 
I wrote down the Vertigo tab somewhere, but do you think I can find it? :lol: I can remember the first bit, but I'll need to write it down again for the rest... :der:

U2 though headphones :drool: :love: You're right, there are so many bits that you miss without the headphones on.
And yeah, the bass pretty much carries WOWY, with Edge doing his Infinite guitar thing... Simple but effective :love:
The WOWY tab I wrote down years ago has this slidey thing he sometimes does live, too... it's like E:- 10/17/19/15/10/17/7/3 ...
