a little trivial background:
I was learning to play bass guitar in med school (with a lot of help from @BBPulmDoc) and taught myself this riff well before I really should have, just sat down and brute-force learned it
I was learning to play bass guitar in med school (with a lot of help from @BBPulmDoc) and taught myself this riff well before I really should have, just sat down and brute-force learned it
not surprisingly, my bass playing fell off in residency and after and I didn& #39;t play anything until last year when I started learning guitar
took a little refreshing to relearn this riff but the muscle memory was largely in there. so bewildering to me how relearning something like this I knew before is such a different challenge than learning a new riff
it& #39;s mostly easier but it presents its own challenges as some of the muscle memory is still there so I& #39;m partially fighting with myself
anyway, my FIL sent this article to me today so I relearned the I Want You Back riff and sent it to him https://www.musicradar.com/news/best-song-intros">https://www.musicradar.com/news/best...
related: it& #39;s also fascinating to me how songs can be so evocative of memories and phases in my life, but also how just hearing the intro of a sung can open the floodgates
and, relatedly, how sometimes songs fall off my radar because they& #39;re too "obviously" good and then later I end up listening to them and it& #39;s like "oh yeah, this song is excellent for a reason"
and now reminding me of perhaps my favorite rambling music thread, which also brought me to another thread of mine on a nice opportunity I had to help someone (more recent battery thread and the Aretha thread) https://twitter.com/MDaware/status/1169729011939008513">https://twitter.com/MDaware/s...

also if this rambling thread of nostalgia isnt clear enough, these are emotional times
