Quick report on the practice session. I think the max online was 162ish people.

Some minor technical issues to start but once it got started it was helpful. It is basically a run thru of the exercises from M1L2.

A few people felt the need to break in and make comments or ask questions, which isn't always helpful in a setting with that many people.

If you can't make the live session, I don't think you are really missing anything. Watch the replay and do the play along exercises. In some ways not doing it live will be helpful because you can pause/backup if you are having any issues with the material.

As we get deeper into it I'll be curious to see how these sessions go, as not everyone will have progressed thru the modules/lesson at the same pace. So I'm not sure how they will handle people being at different points in the program.

I enjoyed the session and I'll to dial into as many as possible even if I'm not at that point in the session.

My big take away was his point that even advanced players will get a lot out playing whole notes so i fully leaned into that after the session just playing whole notes (not that I'm advanced!) to the backing track and learning the patterns all over the neck and really making the bass swing.

It did highlight the deader spots on my neck, i've always known that the D on the g string was dead but the Ds all over the neck on my Fender Precision Performer and very much quieter.

Excuse to buy a n bass or at the very least a new neck.

I attended the live session today.

My internet (AT&T fiber) was flakey so the tempo of the drum track fluctuated from Pink Floyd tempo to thrash metal tempo and back at random. That was nice. Haha.

If they don’t adjust times to accommodate us Yanks, I won’t be too bothered. The curriculum is solid and will keep me busy.
