No jam session, sadly. :( We never got to it. But I had a good italian dinner, cake that was way too sweet, and some pretty good family time spent. Some boring moments (I was there about four and a half hours) but it was quite nice. I saw the new George Carlin special, it was pretty decent.
At least I'll now get to perfect my Mario Bros. 2. It's almost flawless, but I have to really perfect it so I can reliably hit all the notes consistently. The Wizards and Warriors one is very simple, I learned it in one sitting, and I like sort of improvising and filling in those spaces where you're supposed to hold notes. Lots of fun to just really get into, play the hell out of those thick strings.
Violent Femmes have a few good bass songs too, I gotta look into that more. And I realized that the Time (Pink Floyd) tab my dad taught me is very abridged and not really how the original bass goes, so I'm gonna try to learn that as well in the next few weeks. Comfortably Numb is likely the same way, I'll have to dig into that as well. Plus he still has to reteach me those Hendrix songs (we haven't played them in years), I remember they were fun as hell to play. God damn it, there's too much on my plate.
I'm also in the process of tabbing Wind Garden of Mario Galaxy (GOD DAMN IT HAVE YOU LISTENED TO THAT YET?!?!) on my new guitar. Fuck yes.
