[quote name='DaveFry' timestamp='1457043441' post='2994871'] I'm trying to remember which David Gray song it is that he quotes the beginning of Van Morrison's " Into The Mystic " in the outtro .He sings the line "We were born before the wind " etc . [/quote] It was his cover of Soft Cell's Say Hello Wave Goodbye

[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1455178383' post='2976620'] If you're a little worried about joining a band because of your skill level, make an ad and be totally honest in your advert about where you feel your at? Include in it that you just want to get in a band for the enjoyment first and see where it goes. Say the types of songs you want to play, or can already play. This way you're going to get people who are thinking along similar lines to yourself. Practice can be tedious when it has no purpose. Arrange to meet people to play through a few songs, and you got yourself a purpose! For me, there is no feeling like hearning your bass in the context of a full band. Beats solitary practice hands down. [/quote] This

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1455139007' post='2976435'] I'm feeling slightly better. One thing I am pleased with is I taught my gf to play as I'm pretty good with the basic techniques, I also know through trial and error what does not work and what does. So within a year she is almost as good as me. If she put in another couple of months solid practice she should take lessons as she has more potential than me. I'm really pleased with this as at first she couldn't even hold a bass. Also her dad has just started learning from me, I don't think I've seen someone struggle so much to hold a bass let alone pluck it, but I do think I can teach him and he would be over the moon if he reached my level in fact he would love to just be able to play walking on the moon. The people I jam with are I would say at a decent level and have told me I can play but I'm playing such basic stuff nearly anyone could play it. [/quote] Its a massive buzz to help people get better at something isn't it ? To see them progress from their uncoordinated beginnings to wherever they get , is life affirming as far as I'm concerned . I jam with 4 mates , once a week , we write our own stuff and have recorded 8 songs so far , we often struggle , but we love and enjoy what we do and just keep trying to get better . Just step by step mate

The two main obsessions for me Hobby / activity wise have been Judo and Music/Bass , Definitely not natural at either . I didn't take up Judo until I was 25 , got my arse kicked for long enough before I became any good , but I did , not World Champ good , but 2nd Dan good , which when I started was more than I ever thought I could achieve . As a Bass player I won't be giving Mark king lessons anytime soon …. I wish he'd stop asking , he's pissing me off a bit now …. Keep it going bud . Some great posts on here Twincam , all of them on your side mate .
