You check out Guitar George, he knows all the chords

So I actually set an alarm this morning. Got up at 9:30, not nearly as tired as I thought I'd be. It's nice being showered, dressed, and ready for whatever. Especially considering I wouldn't even be up by now otherwise.

Any musicians following? I'm getting some good guitar practice in. It's a pretty cheap guitar (Pacifica), but I'm still somewhat of a beginner. I do a (very) small bit of piano too, and can hold a beat with drums. And I guess if you know guitar, you know the basics of bass.

Bass. I don't get that word. It's pronounced base. It looks like bass (bah-ss). English is a wonky language sometimes. Hell, make up a new word for it! Bayse. Baise. Something like that.

  4. English is really quite a difficult language to learn, since we have so many odd rules.

    I wanted to learn how to play guitar once, but I fell out of that a while ago.

  6. even though some english words are kinda weird it's still one of the easiest languages in the world which is also why so many people speak it.

  9. Here in Australia we have a body of water called Bass Straight (named after explorer George Bass). It's pronounced as you would expect to pronounce it (ie. like 'bus' but with an 'a' - and not like 'base'). English is, indeed, a strange language.

  10. I always feel like an idiot when I call it a BAHSS guitar. Is there even some rule about that, or is it just one of those words you have to learn, because the pronunciation makes no sense whatsoever

  21. I used to pronounce bass as bass (not base). Fixed it now though. Followed as I LOVE guitars.

  22. i just stick with my bass which i have always pronounced correctly due to my dad being a musician and fisherman. he would not tolerate any confusion between the two.
    also, we used to get up at 5:00 to go fishing. 9:30 is late for me now, though i know how my friends feel about this XD
