Are you fingering I take it? Does Muse's bassist finger or pick? Is there any way that we can say "finger(ing)" without it sounding rude? No. |

Oh sorry, thought you meant picks! Need a different name for fingering that doesn't sound like the work pick. Fingerstyle? Shit, no, that's even more lewd.
Buy yeah, I'm just using index and middle finger. I can do it for a bit, but then my energy starts slacking

Step 2 or 3 of Josh's video is the marathon training - build up your stamina gradually  I'm still quite far off. |

No way from scratch! It'll be good practice and hand coordination by the time it's done. That's like levelling up dexterity and endurance a couple of times I reckon. |

Kind of. I can play the bars at speed with my shitty finger plucking style. Working through the whole tune now to see if I can maintain it.

It's that second bar cross-over that I keep flubbing

Yeah I tried moving onto the bits and there's a couple of places that trip me up which fucks it all. It's a bit of a bugger in that you can't really make a single mistake or it fucks everything.
I'm going to have to slow it down a bit for me.

I can get one decent run of this four bars and then my fingers just trip themselves up and wander all over the place. Doesn't help that I've barely played the bass this year and when I have it's been with a pick!

I'm going to upload my one four bar run that wasn't shit. It's fair to say the whole tune is beyond me by quite some margin but I think I'll work on it a bit. If nothing else it'll give some much needed practice.

Yeah it's probably not the best introduction back into it I've just automatically tapped out the bassline to Who Can It Be Now by men at work in the pub. I can't help it. Now Everyone Was Kung Fu Fighting has come on and I'm doing the same. It's like a curse sometimes! |

Hah nice one man, you're nearly there.
Harrumph, this is pussing me off. OK, after these beers I'm going to do it again.
Shit, I haven't even learnt all the changes yet! Should be fun

Nice one. I'll have a look at that.
I've not had a go yet on it. I've been trying to create 2 bass lines for 2 new tracks which I can't seem to fucking do at the minute, so I'll have to have a crack at this again soon
Got another gig too - next village along (Glossop) at the end of September so loads of work again to do!

It's a great finger exercise. I'm improving already. Still can't get as far as the chorus mind.

None of the band songs will be as fast as hysteria - that, I can guarantee 93bpm is quite slow, it's just it's sixteenth notes. I'm sure some of your songs are faster than that, do it! |

I'm still quite far off.
