Just trying to inject some life into this community beyond NGD post.

What techniques are you struggling with right now? What does your practice routine look like for improving that skill? Any advice you want to give to the other players on here?

    At this moment, not geting mad as I cant play due to a inguinal hernia. Most (or at least a lot) can play guitar/bass while seated. I discovered I can’t as my upper arms are almost as long as my upper body, which results in the bass or guitar being to high to play without straining wrists.

    Before the inguinal hernia develpped, I was finally working on fretting and plucking on my bass, while standing with the bass on a strap. Finally I wasn’t fighting my instument, but my own lack of skills. I’ll continue that after the operation and recovery. I found some vids with nice scales, but maybe something easier would be better to get me started again after 6 months without practise. (Yep, totally new, dusted off the bass in august)
