Bass Practice

13:20 I put myslef on a schedule for practicing bass: one hour every night before going to bed. As some of you know, I have often played bass on my own recordings and demos, although most of my releases feature a "real" bass player. I consider myself an under par bassist, and have decided to pursue a better level of musicianship on the instrument. Obviously, finger dexterity and knowledge of the instrument is a big advantage, and the technical part of learning the instrument comes very easy to me. What I am tryinng to focus on is the musical aspect of the instrument, its function, and of course some more advanced techniques.

The idea is to perform on at least a few of the songs for the new album. I will still call on a few friends to help me out on some tracks, and to add their own distinct voice to the recordings. This is another bonus of delaying the release of the record in order to use the long awaited (for me, at least!) AT signature guitar.
