| Become more proficient at both guitar and bass - but especially fretless bass so that I can write better songs, be able to play different kinds of music and eventually, if I get good enough, be in a band... like all different kinds of music, from country and twang to rock to classical to pop to flamenco -I really love Chet Atkins and Duane Eddy, admire what Steve Stevens does coming up With catchy riffs and then turning around and playing a swingeing flamenco/classical guitar. Very neat what Tal Wilkenfeld gets out of her bass. I prefer the sounds in the lower register, love a minor key and I like a sustained sound. As I see it, different songs require different sounds, and I look at learning different sounds from the guitar and bass as acquiring different tools in the toolbox to give a song colour and character. Have all sorts of different stuff in music Collection so as to study different sounds as different means of expression in a song. Discovering new stuff all the time. |
