It sits on two chords for ever, then when it gets to the lovely little bass breakdown I've switched off and I miss it. Every time... I didn't know it had a bass breakdown either. Perhaps I should force myself to actually listen to it. Nah. Quote

It's simple enough but after a catastrophic balls up once, it plays on my mind through the whole song... Oh god, that's my nemesis in the ska set too. I bet I made a bigger mess of it than you did... 1 Quote

Roger2611 Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 The 2nd solo section of Stevie Wonder's Masterblaster the final run down bit, I know exactly what it is doing but I keep missing a note out which throws the rest of the run out! Quote

Awkward 😧 I had one of those moments at the start of a song we'd played a million times. My mind went completely blank and I ended up just playing root notes. I was afraid I was having a 'senior moment' but it's never happened since, so I'm pretty sure it's not early onset alzheimer's . Ummmm, sorry what was the question......??? 1 Quote
