My bass lessons have been going well. I've learnt so much. Rob is a brilliant bass teacher and I told him he should do it professionally but he said he'd get annoyed by the little kids so there's that idea out of the window. He's really patient and doesn't smirk when I mess up (which happens quite a lot). He's teaching me several songs; House of Cards (Madina Lake), Feel Good Inc (Gorillaz) and Roses for the Dead (Funeral for a Friend). He even spent ages writing out some tabs for me and showing me some string changing exercises which I can't seem to get to grips with. I want to get my own bass guitar so I don't have to keep using my Dad's but I don't have any money at the moment. I said that to Rob and he said that when he gets his new bass then I can have his old one. I was like "HAVE?" and he was like "HAVE!" and I was like "HAVE!!" and well whatever, you get the point. I told him I'd give him money for it though because even though I would LOVE to have a free bass, I would feel tremendously bad about it, since he's living off benefits and stuff (although I think his Mum is treating him to a few things now she's back).
There's Roses for the Dead. The guy in the video actually looks alot like Matt, apart from the nose. He has the same hair and lost-lamb look on his face though.
