Last night, unadulterated by alcohol, I recorded the bass line for one of the two East of Eve songs requiring my attention. I had enough problems playing this one sober, so I decided to forgo my usual recording drink. It came out pretty good if I do say so myself. There was this one part I kept screwing up, but thanks to technology, I was able to re-record the goofs and it all sounds good now.
Playing bass is kind of fun especially when I’m playing along with something a little more difficult (i.e. Shawn’s guitar parts). Of course, the first day I try to figure out any of his stuff I end up frustrated and am ready to give up music altogether. But, normally by the third day I have things figured out for the most part. Brian has learned to stay out of the room on the first day I’m working on a new song, lest I bite his head off.
