More from SACK, from their album Get Wrecked. Beware of the guitar solo. 🤪

There's still more on the album Get Wrecked... The Born Loser, starring Wile E Coyote, the world's biggest loser ever.

I touched a guitar again. Didn't hurt. 😋

SACK again, with King of the Beach. I guess I like this band a lot!

More cool stuff from SACK...

Thanks for the straight wrist advice. Been trying it out a bit today, can see the benefits from a physical point of view, probably isn't good to have the wrist bent all the time. It changes the angle I pluck the strings at a bit, like was mentioned.. I'll look into this a bit more

 

When I see a jazz bassist with the bass high up on the chest, having the right wrist bent almost 180 degrees to reach the strings, I'm feeling fatigue already.

Instead my bass is hanging low. Some say one doesn't have full control over low hanging basses. I don't know, as I don't have full control over my fingers anyway. 🙁

Thank you very much!👽 My right hand position is very comfy for me, no muscle tension whatsoever;] I guess it's a technique thing - I attack the strings from a different angle than you, more aggresively (though I'm not heavy handed), to get my strings to hit the frets. Your video is very nice! Keep up the good work👽

Nice SaimoN. I noticed your right wrist is quite straight when you play, is that intentional? Just curious if there's a technical reason to keep the wrist straight instead of curved over the bass.

Same here. I keep the wrists as straight as possible, in order not to stress the joints and tendons. Apart from this, arthritis forces me to be very careful to not get inflamed joints.

Pimp Got Stuck - SACK, from Get Wrecked. Warning, educational content! 

 We've been in lockdown for far too long. If we finally break free, it'll be one helluva party! Guess who's singing.

Pursuit of Pleasure from the album Stella Sapiente by The Lillingtons

Having fun in a tree...

This week's teaser... 😋

Spanish Punk Rock by Kante Pinrélico.

A guitar playing friend of mine published a cover of a song by The Manges. As I liked his mix more than the original, I used this cover to play along on bass. So here's Secret Agent in East Berlin!

A short one from Teenage Bottlerocket.

From American Deutsch Bag by Teenage Bottlerocket

I was asked to compose and play a bass track to this original song. So I did! 😎

Very simple and to the point. I always find these short YT videos helpful, rather the 1 hour long ones. But, wasn't the screen black and white during silent movies?

Yes, it was, but that changed with the invention of green screens. 😁

An old one from my favorite band, The Lillingtons

More Teenage Bottlerocket!

... Jay2U your videos are next level, do you record in front of a green screen or something? ...

Caroline

Yes, I do use a green screen. Here's how.  😎
