Nice solo DRZ. My fingers used to move that fast. It's not my age that slowed me down but the inactivity.

I have been a bit inactive as well lately.  I am finding my level of endurance is suffering when I start slacking.  I just wish I could find a touring band that rocks so I could maintain consistency.  I have looked high and low but cant seem to find.  What am I doing wrong?  I have no obligations to anyone but myself, I am single, I have killer gear, I play well, no habits, and I am very easy going.  What the hell?  Anyone have any comforting suggestions?  HELP!!!!  I'm dyin here.

Hello Ron, fantastic solo!! Great tone and yes I could immediately tell the Sheehan influence as I am a big fan of Billy as well. He is the well rounded bassist that took us all to Saturn! As far as finding competent players/band I don't think you are doing anything wrong, it's just that finding great players willing to commit to a band, sacrifice their home life  and tour is becoming a thing of the past. So sad to say but it is something that I'm finding more evident everyday. These younger guys don't know what it means to get out there and push yourselves into success. Success has become something that your most killer musician expects once they enter the live playing venue. The adoring fans should be there, the tour buses, catering, and what do you mean we have to provide and load in our own P.A?! Besides, rock and roll has become harder and harder to sell. The die hards don't support it like they use to and these young PUNKS won't spend the money to do so. I will keep you in mind if I find any working bands that need a bassist. It may not be exactly what you want and you may have to relocate but if it is a good situation it will be worth it. Stay in touch, my email is in my profile.

If it's any comfort, I play in two local bands doing guitar and bass, and it's a pain to just keep that going and deal with personality issues, booking, promo, equipment, etc. Good luck!

Sheehan is the ultimate shredder, hands down.  I only wish I could lay it down like that.
