Do Ido

[wal4string]

So here we go again another 4 weeks at least suffering repeats on TV.  So what to do? a bass player with no work.  In the past in between my  3 months in work and a month off  I would get bored practicing tunes I most likely would never play, so I would practice a different style of playing just for fun. Pick playing, Muted notes, Slap Bass etc.  On one month break I was offered an audition in Nottingham (at the time I was living in Newport, South Wales) normally I would have turned audition down but my brothers son was living in Nottingham and had not seen him for a while.  So I dropped my Bro off and made my way to the audition.  All charts I was given to read where simple and I began to get annoyed that I had driven all that way. Being bored I decided next tune I would pay would be in a style that I had practiced for fun. The next chart was Sept 63 so I had a few bars to think, I decided to compliment the rhythm with muted notes.  The band loved it and I got 6 months of work from it.  Hardly ever  does a chart say use a pick or slap but often muted notes are written. Like Garlic Bread muted notes are the future.  So here is a practice movie.
