And now I can finally start practicing on my own now. My dad's girlfriend's brother came down to teach me a little bit; he was really cool. He taught me a blues progression, and how to do "Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do" on the bass. He also showed me a finger exercise to help keep my fingers nimble. He called it the "spider." Unless you know what I'm talking about, chances are I really won't be able to describe it to you because my eyes were as confused as they could be watching him go through it flawlessly. But that's what practice is for, right?

I'm just really happy that I finally have some stuff written on paper to mess around with so I can help better myself on the bass, 'cause I've had my little Ibanez sitting around for quite a few good months without being able to do anything because I've only taken one lesson before this one, and that was before I even got my bass. So yeah, I've definitely been out of practice before today. So now I can practice on it and get my fingertips calloused! w00t! You have to understand that in my mind, callouses = AWESOME. That's really all I've gotta say I guess. I'm just really excited that I can finally start learning stuff and play an instrument. So uh, go me!
