sounds pretty real and straight… not fake or gay here
unless gay for classic rock? truly there’s no telling

I can’t speak for anyone else but me, but I always enjoy the hobbies my boys take up. My boys are in their learning to program phase, and of course being a programmer myself, I couldn’t be happier. But I’m just as content discussing (mostly listening to) whatever they’re doing in Roblox on any given day.

My dad enjoys watching us jam.

My dad did his absolute best to try to relate to me. I was weird, didn’t get into sports, played a lot of video games, and have been in and out of bands since I was 15 or 16. He came and watched us practice out in the shed (when we were fucking awful) and bought video games he thought I’d like (he was very wrong, but I loved them anyway).
These days we play an online game together a few times a month and trade barbecue recipes. We’ve even sent each other our dry rubs for brisket and ribs. I’m a middle aged dude and that guy is my fucking rock.
Keep being there for your boys and in 30 years they’ll talk about you like you’re the best person they know. I wouldn’t trade my dad for anything in this world. I don’t always agree with him, but he’s still one of the best people that have ever existed.

This was me post lockdown but I got a bass instead. Still don’t know how EQ or scales work but I can play some stevie wonder ig.
Scales are easy, you just have to know all the notes and whatever key of the chord you’re playing and you can improvise all of those notes on top.
Example if you’re playing a c chord the three notes that make up a c chord are c, e, g
So from there you know that you can play at least those three notes but if you only hit the notes in the key of C you end up with
C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C
Which will work
Anytime anyone is playing a C major chord you can hit any of those notes and it will sound at least somewhat decent the trick is to land on the note that falls within the scale of the next chord for example let’s pretend the next chord is A
Key of a is A, B, C#, D, E, F#, G#, A
Now play those notes
Just remember that all major triad chords, which is just your basic chord, makes up only three notes, and if you look at a scale those notes are numbers 1,3,5.
So if you’re playing a C chord the three notes involved in that quarter going to be C, E, G.
So if you’re jamming on the court of sea in the next chord is a and make sure the note before a hits can fall into the scale of a. I hope that makes sense that’s what made me click with improvising almost 30 years ago.
To figure out the scale for any key just remember this
WHOLE WHOLE HALF WHOLE WHOLE WHOLE HALF
That is whatever the chord being played is the key for that chord is (starting with the note the chord is based on) (ex C)
W W H W W W H (C, E, G)
OR
C D E F G A B C
hope this helps. Music is just math noise.
It gets easy more crazier but that should get you started
“scales are easy” then writes 300 words of gibberish and tells me to learn math
Everything is math if you break it down enough!
It’s much easier than that. You don’t really need to know any of that. On a regular guitar we have shapes. You can learn one shape and move it around the neck to play in any key:
I assume it’s probably the same on bass.
I’m not saying that theory is not helpful, but you aren’t thinking about it while playing or improvising.
As a bassist, I can at least say that was my experience. I learned pentatonic by paying attention to which notes I’d hear most often, and recognizing which pattern on the fretboard they usually showed up in when played in sequence.
That was pretty much all I needed to be able to jam semi-decently, and everything else just sort of progressed from there.

My Rumble 15 would shit itself
IMO the thing about learning bass is without anyone to play with, it doesn’t sound like a song. A workaround is to search YouTube for “backing track for bass practice” and you’ll instantly have accompaniment. It may not be the style of music you are into but it’ll help you develop an ear for playing. It’ll tell you what key the song is in, that note is usually where you start. The EQ isn’t that important. Scales are good to learn
This 4chan site looks pretty wholesome, I should check it out sometime.
I always think the same about Twitter. Like man, so many funny quips. Should sign up.
What’s Twitter?
All I know is XVideos, that thing Musk owns
Nah X and xvideos is different. Xvideos is like Musk’s free video sharing platform.
Oh shit my bad, it’s just X Always links to XVideos so I thought it was the same thing.
This X naming scheme is pretty cool, I like the consistency, X, XVideos, XBox, not very creative but very recognizable
Then there is the confusingly named spaceX, but be wary, the X is at the end, meaning it is not part of X
XHamster on the other hand
I wanted to take up percussion and was having a lot of fun with the schools xylophone and drum kits. I even signed up for band. Was told I needed to buy my own equipment but even though I had a job I was busy buying food for my household with the cash coming in.
I ended up asking my estranged father who did actually help out and buy a drum for me which my mother than turned around and sold for less than it was bought for and left me only the drum mat and a single pair of sticks.Parents that support their children are such a blessing that I don’t think the kids who grow up in it fully comprehend it. And to end up entitled from being over supplied everything and not appreciating it doubly disappointing.
Look after, love and support your kids when they seem genuinely interested in something and they will have about as good of a head start as you can give them without adding in financial security.
So true, my parents fully supported everything I dabbled in
