(I wasn’t planning on posting this, but a bunch of people told me it was good enough to put up, so hey – what’s a little positive peer-pressure going to hurt?)

Playing the more interesting parts of Porcupine Tree‘s Anesthetize, off of Fear Of a Blank Planet. Given I’ve only been playing this song for about 2 weeks, I thought it was a not-entirely-cringeworthy performance, so I’ve posted it. I’ve only been working on the bass-solos for a few days, and clearly they need work. Aside from the occasional timing slip and missed note, I think I did alright – it’s not the easiest song. Even the crazy bridge seems better than yesterday!

Gear:

• Godin SD w/Heavy Strings (Wound G) (Drop C)
• Digitech TwinTube GFX1 (Setting)
• Phonic T8200 Compressor (With Step-Up Transformer)
• Yorkville XM100 Bass amp
• Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner (The cool flashy LEDs moving around)
