Band practice #1, Bass take #2

Okay so learning to play the bass wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. My finger-picking is still a bit stiff but I found it quite fun to play. On top of the song we were practicing for Battle of the Bands (B.O.B.), I learned to play the bass riff for "Stand By Me" (Thanks Marco!).

My homework for next week's practice:

• Practice B.O.B. songs
• Master "Stand By Me"
• Learn bass part for "Play That Funky Music (White Boy)" (See below for tabs and video)

If at the end of B.O.B., I might even consider buying an acoustic bass. Ha! :D
