Eight Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I'm sure there was a similar thread (or series of posts) but can't find it. Anyway, I have to post this because I'm feeling chuffed. In December I bought my first bass... and in January I bought my first BGM. In said magazine there was a transcription for Murder On The Dancefloor (which for some reason is a song I really like). I tried briefly but couldn't get anywhere with it. Today I saw the video on TV and thought "what the hell, let's give it another go"... and I can bloody play it. Perhaps not perfectly... and it took a few goes to get it up to 120bpm but hey. Ok so it's not the hardest bass line ever, but I'm seriously happy because it's a clear indication of progress; and I just had to tell somebody.

SteveO Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Woohoo I always say it's important to recognise your achievements when playing. Usually all we notice are the errors and bum notes. It's good to have a bit of self praise too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gust0o Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I remember when I first nailed the line from Sugar Hill Gang (you know the one!) - I can't remember how many times I played it that day! The sound of success! Glad you're this stoked, mate - definitely the right mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beardybass Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Nice one mate! I agree 100% with steveO, it does you the world of good to look at where you're going wrong, but it feels a million times better to look at where you're going RIGHT!! Keep it up!

Eight Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 Thanks for the kind words guys. It's very very rare that I stop and give myself any credit for things - especially music related. No rest for the wicked though I think I needed a bit of reassurance that my playing was heading in the right direction, and now I feel more enthused to keep working.
