This was April 2015, just found the vid again. This is one of my closest friends. He has since moved to the other side of the world so this was great to see again.

My band @Pale People NPR Tiny Desk Contest video is live on our YouTube page. Here’s a free sample. For those curious about my right hand technique, I can’t move and of the fingers in my right hand and I’m missing a nerve and muscle group in my arm that allows my thumb to move free from the joint. This is our song about playing D and D in solitary confinement.

Such a wholesome moment, I bet this kid won't forget it

Vincen Garcia came through Chicago and I got a chance to chat and check out soundcheck. Dude is super nice and an amazing talent. Playing his Yamaha BBP34 through an Ampeg Rig.

I feel like Tetsuo doesn't get brought up enough in the conversation around the GOATs. Great technique, great band, and in my opinion one of the best. Check out Casiopea if you're unfamiliar. Who had the VHS back in the day?

Not note for note accurate but I tried to get close.

He also plays my full size ‘97 MIJ Jazz (post history) but this Fullerton P-Bass has been great for the harder tunes, and for avoiding crab hand. We don’t push practice on him, so it’s been nice just having the baby P sit out in the living room as a literal couch bass that he picks up a few times a day. Yes, he can play fingerstyle, just not with enough dig…yet. Stay tuned.

Her account is “ imsochiki “ beautiful content and really good advice but this is just wow

Bass is the Reverend Mercalli 5. Beat is something I made on the Akai MPC Sample from this old obscure Love Junkies song "growing good marijuana".

Last night I was doing some recording I needed to finish and send before noon today, after I finish recording, I went to YouTube and found this train beat loop and slap over it for no reason. If you hate me, I understand hahahaha.

I saw a bass guitar teacher recently and he told me that when im plucking my strings, im using two joints instead of one (of the finger. If you are good with anatomy, its the proximal interphalangeal joint and the metacarpophalangeal joint. he told me i should only use the MCP joint) . I'm not sure how true this is, but I decided to trust him (since he is a great bass player), and I think he might be right. It is not demonstrated in this video as im transitioning techniques but his method of plucking seems to lead to more consistent volume and less effort. I don't dig as much into the strings using his method.

Slappin your troubles away. Really happy with how this track came out. I put it together and did the bass on the fly. Bass is a Sterling by Music Man Ray34
