Jobs

Once upon a time I wondered what it would be like to have a job.

My imagination got a bit wild, but most of all, it made me think of how little I'd be able to practice compared to how much I practice now. It was a terrible thought, and I wondered how on earth I could make money and still have my practice time at my age (as the ability to play gigs is not associated with getting gigs at this age, 'lest you get lucky).

I haven't come up with a solution yet, but maybe a camera and becoming a Partner on YouTube could make a very slight contribution towards having practice time? Cause despite there being many a video tutorial on how to play Bass, most of them are wrong. Incredibly so. The first problem being that they speed and skip through a lot of important things, or they teach the basics without letting them understand much about music.

In fact, the very first mistake they make is saying "Here's the tabs for this" or "It's on this fret".

Or you've got the opposite problem of "Take your Bb+7(b5 #11) and start your line on the 3, and have fun with it".

I haven't seen anyone who's started a "How to Play Bass Guitar" from the true basics once, and I'd like to try. Now I just need that camera o,o
