ditto, whenever im just playing i dont think im doing anything special at all, but every now and again listening back after recording myself i think, hey that aint too bad

I basically feel like this about everything I do. All the time.

Simple, driving, melodic playing from Lemmy.[/quote]She made you sell your vinyl? A sad day in a 30-40 something man's life.

Slightly OT but thanks!! I have mewsie to thank for it!! Not sure the rest of the band are 100% happy with having a lefty Bass player as the main logo, esp our Guitard, but *meh*, that's when I put my foot down

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='330492' date='Nov 17 2008, 10:42 AM']The problem is when I'm playing live and start thinking 'damn I'm playing well' it all goes to sh*t.[/quote]

I know that feeling!

+1

For me it either goes, "Eight songs in and I've not hit a bum note yet... damint!" or I'll be seriosly feeling it, in the zone and go for a flurry of exotic notes instead of the fill I would normally play, nail the flurry perfectly while grinning at drummer and then forget the key change that follows lol

Hope-Taylor and Crampton are amazing. I blame to two of them for getting me hooked on cheese!

[quote name='Rich' post='330586' date='Nov 17 2008, 12:43 PM']I get plenty of days when my playing blows... does that count? [/quote]
That's nothing, when it's been a while between practicing, i both suck and blow....

[OutToPlayJazz]

Luckily I get quite a few gigs like that. Obviously, like everyone else I get days when I play like an utter clunker as well! Seems to be mainly when the band hasn't been playing for a while (this is my rock trio) & suddenly we all instantly gel again. It's a good feeling!

Er, no...

Well, not that I'd publicly admit to anyway!

[Stag]

I get those days where I like the tone of the bass and really enjoy that, but playing... not really. Except when drunk and attempting Hendrix on bass impressions.

[Bassassin]

Don't know if it's the same, but I'm really, really pleased with the material I'm writing at the moment and very happy with the bass parts. The band's currently working the songs into performable pieces, and it's coming together much better/quicker than I'd expected, considering the complexity of some of the arrangements.

I'm having a satisfying struggle learning to sing the BVs over some of the bass lines I've given myself!

Jon.

[Carmel]

i impress myself after leaving my bass for a few days- my creative juices go into overdrive, and my bass playing follows!
