I have been pretty disappointed b/c my first guitar lesson got all narfed and i couldnt go, so i was feeling kindof gloomy. But, I had my first bass lesson today and i think it went really well! My teacher had some really helpful suggestions for exercizes and i actually sat down w/him and he told me how to actually do a major and minor chord. Really basic yah, but something i never actually got around to. >.<
Also some helpful suggestions about technique that I think will really help me. And he really flattered me by saying he definitely thinks I have what it takes to be a really great bass player, and also that it will also help my guitar because bass strings take more finger strength.
And he also pointed out that even though my fingers look small they do seem to have a lot of skill and reach. At which point i was trying really hard not to crack up w/perverted laughter... i mostly succeeded.
;-)
Also I got which teacher I'm taking guitar from switched to their most experienced instructor, because the guy I was signed up with at first was too intimidated to teach me. *grin*
So I feel better now than I did 4 hours ago.
I still feel lonely/music deprived though. Like I feel left out of the band, because I am not "in" on most of the initial workings of songs. Like I am ok with it in my head though. Maybe me and Emily can practice together just us two sometimes. I think that would be really nice.
I should ask her!
