My New Years resolution was to play more bass.

I haven't been practicing much - really just focussing on looking cool for the moment ;)

Hoping to be able to master this soon...

And with completely unrealistic aspirations, believing that this will be me in one year

Look, it’s simple as this: bass + woman = awesome!
Practice your bass-faces though, and post a collage of them!

You just need an extra string on your bass and some funky shoulder dance moves and you'll be shredding like that guy in no time!😊

I’ve always wanted to play acoustic slap bass.

with practice.... i believe in you!!!

without practice... better stick to dreEms ;)

I've never really worked at playing the bass with my thumb, I know a lot of players do, but I just never learned that style. I normally play with my finger, or a pick. I just found it easier to learn that way.
I'm not a fancy player like the guy in the video, I've always been a background player.

Really Ione Skye!?

I was 15, living in Seattle (my hometown), dating my first boyfriend when Say Anything came out. That movie captures such a moment in time. And the soundtrack... ❤️.

Good luck with the bass!

It's amazing what you can achieve with practice. My daughter plays the bass, but I prefer guitar.

Just saw you have a cool acting job coming up. We're big David Tennant fans in our house. Very jealous. Have fun.
