Sailor's Hornpipe is a tune that I learned in the 70's, then promptly forgot it, then

Latest bass warm-up exercise for me is the guitar riff from "Crazy Train" - played in as many positions on the neck as I can manage.


Also fun: baseline from either "Reelin' in the Years" or "Two Tickets to Paradise".


All of these require 4-finger coordination and a bit of stretching.

Bill; I do try to keep the antioxidants up, and that does seem to help.  :)

Finally updated my F# minor pentatonic chart - added in a few notes that I didn't in the first one - been trying to practice at least a little bit each day, though I have to skip a day tomorrow.



I think it might be time to move up a half-step to G minor pentatonic...
