All Academic and Stuff.

A year ago, I was really having a hard time coming up with new, "exciting" bass lines. I was convinced that my creativity was tapped out.

Apparently, I was wrong.

Since I've been having to come up with new lines again, I used most of my tricks up pretty fast. Playing in a three piece, however, presents a bunch of new problems, though (mostly having to play a lot less of my big, fat, tied whole notes). Tonight, serendipitous fuck-up led into something new that actually worked out quite well:
Play the line backwards.
Seriously, it's totally an easy solution to boring boring boring rock bass playing. Another great success.

It's sort of like right-side-drive or something.
