they are all just demo recordings done on the iphone. Theres a few 'rough notes' but ive enjoyed the process of recording them. Im going to try some bass guitar stuff when ive got time.

cheers for listening Geoff

Thanks BassBod. It's a bit of an odd way of recording/playing bass as i don't do any 'solo' gigs. I've learned a lot from the process of recording these though. Now I have a better understanding of what areas of my playing are weaker and what I need to work on.

Which is always good! I think recordings do tend to bring out just how crap you sound. Of course it's more of a shock to people when they first hear themselves because they usually think they're totally awesome before they begin (this isn't a personal comment just a general observation). Anyway i thought it sounded fine. Liked the blues thing. Possibly need to work on the timing in areas but other than that, great.

yep I agree. time is the no 1 area for improvement. I think that when I'm playing unaccompanied I'm too concerned about intonation as it's so exposed.

Have you ever done a duo gig with a pianist who plays solo a lot? Its happened to me a few times (also jazz gitar) and the first ten mins or so can be a real challenge! Usually settles down after a tune or two, but it can be very strange sitting in someones else's private time bubble....

sure, those duo gigs are always a great reminder to keep working on my time/feel, especially with guitar.
