I had one of those busy weeks and didn't get as much practice time in as I'd have liked. Still working on that Van Halen song - I can play the intro at about three-quarters tempo, and the rest of it at full tempo; but it needs a LOT more practice lol. Still haven't figured out how Eddie got the guitar sound for the tapping part, I've tried every chorus and flanger and downloaded a few more free VST's but I'm not even in the ballpark.
If you guys remember almost a year ago, I tried repainting my bass but that didn't work out so well. I finally got sick of waiting for professionals I found online to call me back, so yesterday I put a few coats of Krylon on it. Looks pretty good
Only have one small drip I'll sand off tomorrow, and then put a few more coats on it. Maybe try some fine sanding with extremely fine sandpaper to get the little bit of orange peel off of it - or who knows, maybe after 3 more coats it won't even need it. Even if I screw it up, I'll just toss another coat of paint on it and call it done, as it looks acceptable even without any fine sanding.
Hope you guys are all doing well!
