At this moment, not geting mad as I cant play due to a inguinal hernia. Most (or at least a lot) can play guitar/bass while seated. I discovered I can't as my upper arms are almost as long as my upper body, which results in the bass or guitar being to high to play without straining wrists.
Before the inguinal hernia develpped, I was finally working on fretting and plucking on my bass, while standing with the bass on a strap. Finally I wasn't fighting my instument, but my own lack of skills. I'll continue that after the operation and recovery. I found some vids with nice scales, but maybe something easier would be better to get me started again after 6 months without practise. (Yep, totally new, dusted off the bass in august)
Congrats on sticking with through tough conditions. Best of luck with your recovery!
Thanks, tomorrow is the surgery, I hope I can play pretty soon after recovery.
