[cmogawa]

noo that is just called 3-finger. noodling usually just means you're messing around, kind of improvising or playing randomly

[basgitarist]

it's really hard to guess. I know guys who've been playing for 3 years and can't do anything of that. There are also guys who pwn everybody's asses after playing for one and a half year. So hmm about a year an 9 months or so?

[Brad on bass]

yeh ummm i dont think i ever used three fingers in that, but i can....ummm yeh but i guess i was also noodlingbecause i just played whatever came to my head hahahah.

[Brad on bass]

hmm im gonna let a few more people have a crack at it then i rekon ill come to the truth....but your inputs really helping me cheers

[d-basser]

[Brad on bass]

Umm most of them were, except for that stupid tapping stuff, and that part at the end with the pick, thats an intro to one of my bands songs.

[Brad on bass]

i rekon ill tell ya now.....hahah yep to my dissapointment ive been playing two years when the 24th of may comes, seems like you fellas must all be freaks if you learn that **** in 6 months.....but ive never had a teacher, i started slapping about a month before that, and that dumb tapping **** which i have gotten better at, i sorta just found out how to do it about a week and half before that......but thanks for you guesses people and i now know that i gotta get up to scratch.
dont worry im not offened haha
oroo, cheers

[ignignok]

So how long have you been playing?

[Ting]

So how long have you been playing?
he said 2 years

[dubbeatscb]

were you using a loop pdal at all because it looked like you stopped playing but the sound kept going, or maybe the video and the sound were a good five seconds off

[Brad on bass]

i dont really think ive improved too much individually in the last 6 months, because my bass stays in the music room at school so i can practise with the band during recess and lunch....i rekon my band playing has gotten better but i need to work on individual stuff too. my acoustic bass and begginer ashton just dont give me the same vibe as the S.U.B.........
and may i ask? what was wrong with californication? i need some pro advice

[Brad on bass]

yeh something went wrong when i uploaded it, the sound is way off ....sorry bout that.

[Brad on bass]

so does this mean im pretty crap for playing for 2 years?

[Ting]

so does this mean im pretty crap for playing for 2 years?
Course not, people progress at different speeds

[SüP]

Take me, for example, 5 years self taught, I can't play that....then again I try not to learn other bands songs.
