Bernard's line are great. Do you play them like him, finger style, but often using the finger like a pick? Could be wrong, I haven't watched any tuition bids, but that looks like what he's doing when playing.

Who else should have been gigging tonight?

What he said ^^^

https://www.reaper.fm/download.php I'm tempted, self isolation would seem to be the perfect time to finally learn? Is the Basschat Reaper collective available for advice and support?

My band have agreed to play a couple of our regular (well paid) venues for free when they reopen.

Yup. Rhythm Stick Also, Keep the Faith. Not particularly difficult just relentless. Took a while to nail it, the secret seems to be to use the open D.

All March gigs now cancelled, although we are in the fortunate position of them all being rearranged.

I've had to bail on tonight's rehearsal, after consultation with the band, as I am self isolating. Saturday's gig was looking increasingly unlikely.

Saturday's gig is still on at the moment, but we're now a bit wary of advertising it, in view of the Government recommendations. If we do, it may seem like we don't give a stinky poo about people's health if we are encouraging people to come to the club? What are the rest of you doing for gigs that are still on?

The big Sainsbury's near me looked like it was closing down, with all the empty shelves.

Although the website has not been updated and tickets are still for sale.
