Just plucking away after listening to some tunes. Just letting it flow with whatever feels right, not caring what comes out of it. Just enjoying the sounds it makes. Just a nastalgic conversation with an old friend.

At the time of initially getting this commission, I actually had been picking up my bass again, and more often. Sometimes to learn tunes, but also just to mess around and make it fun again. There was a time where I did play fairly regularly with other people, but I had gotten burned out from dealling with multiple things. Playing and learning songs just ended up feeling like a chore, and I ended up dropping it for years. Not to say I was that good, but I'm indeed very rusty with my technique. It's frustrating that I can't really play the way I used to, but I'd like to eventually work back up to where I have fun with it and have it be more natural. I'm not trying to be the next Chris Wolstenholme or Jaco Pastorius or anything like that. I just want to let it be a relaxing way to unwind and be and emotional release for once.
