Why even bother? You're old and you're gonna die soon.

It's the day after my birthday, so I'll be even older.
Then I can bestow all the wisdom I learn to the younger folks (like yourself) and be known as a hero.

By the way, that made seriously "LOL"

Oh, and did I mention, I still have all my gear.

You don't have an SVT 3 PRO head, either.

No, I don't, but if I wanted one I could pick one up tonight. Ya see, I gots money.

I'm buying a 2007 USA Fender P Bass next week, because my SWR 700 Workingpro works just fine. You don't want to get into a "material objects" "gear" war with me son, you'll lose.

You just fucking wait until next Christmas when he gets the cab. Then the war is back on.

You can have all the gear, I'll just have my incredible ability.

Which can be verified at?

You'll just have to take my word for it, like your word when you say you and your wife aren't fat, you have a good job, are better than me, bla bla bla.

Ahh never mind it dude. I am always inclined to believe what I read on the internet. Especially from unemployed guys living in their mom's basement. That just reeks of credibility.

Yep. Two way street.

What's this lesson gonna be like?

"Well, hello Billy, today I'm going show you a major scale!"

hektik · Post by **hektik** » Tue May 08, 2007 11:29 pm

well, this should be cool to watch him play. i doubt you'll learn much. "now, this is how IIIIII slap and this is how I pop my bass. I like to throw one of these WEENANAS in, and one of these DOOWOPS"

I have to send him an e-mail with areas I'd like to cover.
I will probably tell him I'd like to go over fills (my bass fills are weak)
and I have been playing alot of raggae style, so I want to get some decent excersises to sharpen my raggae chops.

What I learned at my lesson: It's harder to change bad habits than it is to learn properly in the first place.

But you did learn a few thing's that you should change in your playing correct?

How was it?
