no pain, no gain. yes pain, maybe gain.

well, i've been practicing day and night (mostly day because that's when i'm home alone) on my bass. seeing as how i still suck but am doing less of such, i figure it's a good thing. then again, whoever said progress is a slow process, wasn't talking 'bout me, i'm a P. I. M. P. ...wait, no i'm not. what the boondoggle?!
okay, well it's kinda true, seeing as how i learned the bass part for My Glorious (thanks to Adwin's teaching) and i learned/figured out my rendition (because i don't know if it's 100% correct) of T.C .'s rendition of the bass' part in Indescribable by Chris Tomlin. then again, maybe those songs are just easy... very cool nonetheless, i must say. i still haven't perfected those tricky 32nd notes in History Maker, but i'm getting there. see, i listen to a song and say, "wow! i want to play that!" and so i search and search for bass tabs. when i get them, i realize that it's full of teeny tiny notes and wanky rests, not to mention the string and fret hopping that usually accompanies such music. i guess that's what makes life fun. you just never know until you try it.
next i think i'm going to learn a secular song, Deceptacon by Le Tigre, just for the title if nothing else.
