🎸Screwed around with Shiina Ringo‘s \"Gips\" on the bass 🎸Almost passed \"Message in a bottle\" on Hard. 🎸Jammed with \"„ÅÑ„Åü„Åè„Å™„ÅÑ „ÅÑ„Åü„Åè„Å™„ÅÑ\" on bass 🎸Made 10 ringtones for my iPhone, now that it‘s legal 🎸Learned the beginnings of YUKI songs Hummingbird, the end of shite, and Good Times on guitar 🎸Played some YUKI on guitar and some RUSH on bass 🎸Challenging myself to relearn the bass solo for Freewill 🎸More work on Freewill bass solo; struggled through to the end 🎸Got through the Freewill solo only stopping a couple of times 🎸Pretty good rendition of Freewill. I‘m getting my agility back! 🎸I got a violin yesterday. It was .01 but the shipping was like 49.99 Its shiny and black and I should get in by next week. Just need to figure out how to tell my mother I bought it. 🎸my violin will be here in less than 4 days. I haven‘t been this excited in a long time. I hope I can really stick to this. I may set up some goals to learn how to play a certain song in 6 months or something. I can‘t wait! I‘m smiling just thinking about it. 🎸Freewill, this time concentrating on maintaining the rhythm through the solo 🎸Not in such a bad mood as yesterday. How is it that I‘m beside myself waiting for this violin? I don‘t even know how to play it yet but I just want to hold it. Just a few more days to wait and I‘m already acting like an addict and trying to find ways to fill time so I‘m not just sitting and waiting for it to come. 🎸One more day till I get my violin! I have been studying notes and things. Last night I studied for over an hour so I‘m hoping to do more of that all week and for however long. I got a nice simple book that came with a CD and a DVD and found some good resources online so I think I‘m almost ready. I also got a list of teachers in the area so hopefully I‘ll be able to get some lessons going as soon as I have a job where I can put some money away. 🎸Pretty awesome rendition of the Freewill solo 🎸My violin is here. Its sitting on the floor in its case. Its so pretty and shiny and black. I still have some setting up to do with it but I can‘t wait to actually toy around with it. I need to call around for lessons but I‘ll wait a little longer. I‘m so excited and slightly intimidated by it. They say its hard so wish me luck. ;) 🎸Once through Freewill. Not a good idea to attempt RUSH basslines before coffee. 🎸Started figuring out OSCA by Tokyo Jihen. Not sure where this skill came from; at the height of my bass ability I could never figure out songs. 🎸I‘ve almost got OSCA completely figured out now; recorded my version of it 🎸Another day, another rendition of OSCA 🎸Discovered that my bass was out of tune, and thus my OSCA tabs were a half-step too sharp all along 🎸Still stuck on one part of OSCA. Played some Rush. 🎸YAY Michaela helped me figure out the OSCA pre-chorus 🎸Memorizing the Freewill solo 🎸Almost have the Freewill solo memorized 🎸Played along with Freewill.

Surprised how well I survived the first play through. 🎸Had iTunes play ‚ÄúRainbow st.‚Äù, and hit random notes on the bass, just to make sure both were working. Next thing I knew, I‘d figured out the song. 🎸Experimented poorly with Rainbow st. and made a badly-timed recording of it 🎸Played along with \"Long Song\" and \"tayu tau\" 🎸Played along with JAM: „Ç≠„DZ„É≥„Å™‰∫å‰∫∫ and Boingo: Water. No idea when or where I got the ability to play along with songs. 🎸Last 3 songs on the new Âéü„ņÈÉÅÂ≠ê album, then Pizzicato Five‘s ‚ÄúQuestions‚Äù 🎸clammbon: ÊúàÈ£ü and Êù±‰∫¨‰∫ã§â: „É©„É≥„Éó 🎸clammbon: „ǧ„É≥„Éë„ÇØ„Éà is super fun to play 🎸Jammed out with „ǧ„É≥„Éë„ÇØ„Éà, Water (twice), and Lullabye Letter, to relax 🎸Rainbow st.; „ǧ„É≥„Éë„ÇØ„Éà 🎸„ǧ„É≥„Éë„ÇØ„Éà and started figuring out Âæ©Áøí 🎸JUDY AND MARY: „Ç≠„DZ„É≥„Å™2‰∫∫ 🎸Played through „Ç≠„DZ„É≥„řԺí‰∫∫ twice more to refine my understanding of the bass part 🎸Squarepusher: Plaistow Flexout; Oingo Boingo: Perfect System 🎸„Ç≠„DZ„É≥„řԺí‰∫∫ and Perfect System
