practice bass — SteemCN

(uploaded, still setting up livestream)

This is basically an unedited vid of me practicing. I believe it is a good thing to record yourself so that you can watch later from a more objective standpoint and see what needs to be improved.

These are early days in blockchain, and I'd like to use it as a way to store the history of my development in music. Since there is no way to completely master music, it can only ever be the journey.

I'm interested in music and blockchain, so I thought as an experiment I could combine the two by livestreaming on STEEM. I'd like to use it as a tool to improve my playing, to share with anyone interested, and a way to save time (as editing and uploading takes too much of that).

So as a warning this may be kinda boring to most people. But anyway, I'm hoping to see a steady music development over time.

First time working on "how Insensitive", I thought it was ok. Perhaps some more fluidity, like some ascending scales up into thumb position. It should be more familiar by the end of the week.
Also the first time working on "Pent Up House", not quite up to speed yet. I thought I should leave Antonio's comments there... (trumpet player, stays in my studio sometimes) he likes to speak his mind. And I agree with him. On an up tempo song the line becomes 'straighter'. Actually we had a listen after and the first part of the line is very straight, but the "bu-dap, bu-dap" is leaning more towards a triplet.

Makes me think I should really be listening more to the phrasing of the melodies.

Another note, I'd like to add some articulation to some of the melodies too. Perhaps mess around with a few ideas.
