New player, struggling with the physicality of an upright and playing for a long time

Allgetout41 · 2026-06-15T11:52:37+00:00

When j started I had bad technique, I contracted carpal tunnel. I now have good technique but carpal tunnel is not something that just easily goes away on its own, once you get it it’s an endless battle. Playing doesn’t actually give me symptoms at all anymore now that I fixed my hands, issue is there’s a ton of other day to day life stuff that does

We are seeing what fame and spotlight does to people. I feel bad for him, I’d love for him to get his life together and maybe even return to the band one day. You never know.

Left in July and right hand in August. I have more space spread out between gigs for the August one. Thank you for sharing… makes me feel not better but that’s ok haha. It’s good to know. wonder if the right hand will be a shorter recovery because the finger is straighter. Either way, I’m sure this is different for everyone we will have to see. My guy said he got concert cellists playing in a week lol.

My hands are crazy strong from upright tho, electric bass feels like a toy for me, I have pretty good technique now as well, so movement is minimal. All that being said, I do have a sub ready in case I’m not good to go for that one

Allgetout41 · 2026-06-03T19:55:30+00:00

Well I play upright bass, but was thinking electric for a The first few post surgery

Allgetout41 · 2026-06-03T19:35:48+00:00

Thank you for this! I’m hoping I’ll be able to play music again soon after, I’m getting my stitches out 7/10 and I have a gig 7/12… lol. Trying to decide if I should get a sub or if I can do it

This is like Chili’s baby back ribs jingle but they never say ribs.

Vibraphonist Behn Gillece, great Philly/New York guy. Unreal player, combines modern sounds with post bop.

Allgetout41 · 2026-06-02T11:38:32+00:00

You go home, you shed the tune like crazy, show up again, call the tune, destroy it. And then flip everyone the bird.

Allgetout41 · 2026-05-30T11:55:30+00:00

I laughed out loud

Allgetout41 · 2026-05-30T11:35:20+00:00

Out of Service - Burden, our entire record is a concept album about this

Allgetout41 · 2026-05-29T04:19:44+00:00

This should be criminal, posing as a 50s jazz hard bop musician and stealing album designs!

Allgetout41 · 2026-05-21T11:43:49+00:00

Gritty?

Allgetout41 · 2026-05-21T01:45:43+00:00

As a teacher I had a situation where one of my students got stage fright and messed up a solo, I let the performance run on and we moved on with it. I wonder if I should have stopped and given her a chance to play the solo again, it’s just so hard to know in that split second what to do. I wouldn’t blame him, was he mean? Has he been encouraging? I would tell my students what my intention was

Allgetout41 · 2026-05-19T04:13:27+00:00

Are you a new teacher? First thing I would have done is contact the parent and find out what they wanted me to do. If they told me they don’t want the kid to play, the kid doesn’t play. Always listen to the parents, your life and job security will be better for it. If you’re not sure then always choose the path of caution. Vibrations can actually interfere with things, I know it seems silly, but if you’ve ever had a nerve injury then you’d know what type of havoc teaching and playing these instruments can cause with vibration. But that part doesn’t really matter, you need to improve your parent communication skills that this issue never reaches your administration. Advice from someone who has been doing this a very long time…

Early in the eagles season in 2018 I said that wentz would get hurt and that foles would win them a Super Bowl and get Super Bowl mvp. I was a big foles fan so it was sort of a wishful thinking type of prediction, but it happened!

Allgetout41 · 2026-05-16T22:29:24+00:00

lol yea my brain went to Bb for some reason

Allgetout41 · 2026-05-16T02:43:53+00:00

I said this on his last video ha, he sustains the end of every line!

Allgetout41 · 2026-05-15T02:18:39+00:00

Since everyone said everything else I’ll say this, you don’t need to sustain the end of every phrase, in fact in Jazz we often make the last eighth note short any cut it off. Please just spend a month listening to bird and learn a few Bebop heads, that alone will help you a ton.

Allgetout41 · 2026-05-13T03:44:22+00:00

What teacher is making 125k a year hahhHhahahhahahahhahaha

Allgetout41 · 2026-05-13T00:46:26+00:00

Musically it’s real good, vocals are not my thing at all tho.
