Practice Session: Hysteria (Muse)
Alright y'all, let me have it. This is the main riff from Hysteria by Muse, at increasing tempos 70bpm-93bpm (full tempo) in increments of 5. I had click in my ear, automatically increasing after every 2 passes through the phrase. Above 85, my consistency definitely deteriorates. 2nd bar has long been most challenging, but the floating/anchoring thumb has helped tremendously, and now the 3rd bar is my trouble spot, with coordination/timing between fretting fingers and plucking fingers being the big hurdle. Thoughts? Recommendations? Anything I'm missing?

@Murphy Karges for sure man consistency is HARD. playing an "easy" riff/lick for 2-3 minutes without messing up at any point is way more challenging than you would think

Bad Guy - Billie Eilish
Had some fun learning the synth bass line to Bad Guy, and of course, the synth melody in the post-chorus. Had a tab for the synth bass that was ALMOST accurate, but learned the melody by ear. If anyone wants a tab, I can find a way to create one =] Bonus points for anyone who finds the note(s) that I learned wrong 😬

Weekly Wins
Learning things is cool. That's why we're here. Having an awesome support group along for the ride is just as important. Now that there are some lessons up, I thought it would be cool for anyone who had a win this week to share it. It can be that you got through a handful of lessons, or you had a solid practice with your band. No win is too small! I'll start. My band managed to book shows for every weekend in September. Usually we play over Labor Day, and then we are on break until after Christmas, so I am super stoked to be playing all month. What's your win?

Small win: I played my bass every day so far this week! Tough with shift work, 2 kids under 4, and pre-school on fall break. Best part? The little ones dancing or playing around on our other instruments while I'm jamming out =]
