What’s on your mind?

I confess that I am at a complete loss to understand the phenomenon of the number of young men (invariably locals) who are wearing shorts (yet are also attired in warm garments such as fleeces for their upper bodies) in this frigid (almost) freezing, weather.

Well, lots of us wear them here, with temps varying from 20 ~ 30 deg.

Took out my bass guitar for the first time in forever, partially because I'd always been wondering how really good bassists usually do those pull-offs when playing walking lines, and why they are almost always on the G string. Turns out, pull-offs are quite easy to do (hence why some people overuse them), and are often on the G string (first string) because there's nothing beyond it to block your hand. It's much harder (though still possible) to do on the E, A, and D strings. This is coming from me, a noob bassist--I don't practice often, and it being my third instrument, I know the least about it. I can walk bass lines in good time (which I learned to do on the piano first when I was young, and surprisingly, it has translated perfectly onto the fretboard with little effort) but that's pretty much as far as my bass skills go.
