Class last night, and while I could play most of the piece I haven't been quite able to get the bass line parts right. Picking with four fingers is just a bit too much for me yet. So, I can do it, but not as fast as he wanted and not with the other four people all at once. Then he split us up and gave us different parts to play... and he gave me bass, and explained what notes i could play in the bass line in each chord. And I got it tabbed out ok so I understood it but when we went to play it all together I fell apart. I was trying to play 1/2 notes while one group did 1/4 notes and the rhythm group did two 1/4's and a half and i just couldn't keep track of what we were doing. I needed to change my notes when they changed chords and I couldn't tell when the chords changed. It was awful. I SO want to play bass, and here I got a chance to make up a bass line and I couldn't play it with the group. Some times I feel almost desperate to learn this and it's so frustrating. I bet I could go into the studio at work, and cut all the parts separately and mutitrack them together but I can't play with a group.
