Looking for Practice buddy

[Majik]

Even with lag, zoom practice buddies could be fun. You just can’t actually play or jam together at the same time.

Oh yes, and there’s a lot of mileage in this sort of online community. I used to regularly take part in a monthly “hang” for UK-based bass guitar learners where we would share what we were working on, what we struggled with, and generally chit-chat about bass stuff.

I suggested something similar for Justin Guitar learners a while back:

Virtual Jam Buddy

That’s a nice format. I used to do that for bass guitar. There was a monthly “hangout” for UK based bass players that was organised through the SBL forums, and which I took over organising for a while when the lady who originally did it got too busy. We would do a 1hr hangout (originally, literally, using Google Hangouts, but then Google Meet once they transitioned/rebranded) where we just chatted about current practice including the community/campus challenges, courses, new gear, and anything…

And even briefly tried to set something up local to me at the time.

South East Asia Hangout

Taking the lead from a recent thread, I was considering setting up a hang-out for anyone in the South East Asia area, or nearby timezones: Timezone: UTC+8 Language: English This would be an online meeting held one evening per month for up to 1 hr. The idea is that we meet up to have a chat about anything guitar related such as: What we are practicing Songs we are learning Gear: we own, have just purchased, or are considered buying To participate, you’ll need a setup capable of being used …

Cheers,
