Two-A-Day (or Slow And Steady Wins The Race)

5/5/2015

Last night I learned (completely) the first two songs on the list below this post. This morning I played them again to recharge my mind and remember the nuances. Tonight I'll play them again, then learn the next two. Tomorrow morning I'll play all four. That night I'll play them again, learn the next two, and so on... The goal is to have learned 50 new songs by the end of May. Hard work never hurt anyone, eh?

Now some of these I already know. But part of the goal is not just song knowledge, but mastery. That's going to require more than just memorizing notes, which is all my lazy butt usually musters.  But to be more than just another human jukebox requires that I analyze and understand each bass line; why did Duck Dunn use hesitation notes; does this chromatic piece make it funky; etc?

Ha! Wish me luck. Wait! No! Break-a-leg would be best.

    I grew up playing Blues and Punk in and around St. Louis. After traveling a LOT, I settled down in Austin Texas where I play Worship bass and study Jazz.  I'm also a bassist-at-large. So you'll see me around town playing with various Rock, R&B, Blues, and Jazz groups. Keep your eye out for me.
