Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

Most bands play the bass with the idea that there should be only as much bass as necessary.

In this track, for much of it at least, it was played not entirely unlike a percussion instrument. It's very different from what I normally play and to be confused with 'easy'. While I'm a classical guitarist by training. I can still play most any type of guitar out there and the classical training has not only meant I can play most anything - it has also meant that I had ti dedication to learn and practice with other instruments like the bass.

It's a lot of fun. It's a lot of work - but the rewards are there. The instrument rewards practice. You put your hours in practicing and you get good. Eventually, you get good enough to play most anything.

I've been playing for more than fifty years. If I wasn't good by now, I should just fucking quit trying. I don't have some sort of innate skill. I have countless hours of practicing.

Do you play?

Also, as I don't recall recording it (it was probably just recorded as a lark or for demonstration purposes), it reminds me a bit of Flea. I'd say it's 'better' than most of what Geddy Lee did, but it does remind me of Flea - or the dude from Primus. I forget his name, but he's one hell of a bass player.
