I enjoyed playing bass in the band this morning. It stretched my skills a bit too (as well as my left hand)...
I'm usually ok with the faster rockier songs, where I just need to keep a steady, quick beat going and follow the guitar chords, but the slower ones need a bit more interest & I've not learnt how to stray far from playing the tonic notes yet. Today, I worked out a very simple little riff to get away from playing a line of D followed by a line of G (over and over again) and it seemed to work. I had quite a stretch in my left hand to get from D to F# smoothly but it sounded ok most of the time.
It felt good to develop a little from where I've been for so long.
