My first attempt playing Feel it still

#bassguitarist #beginnerbassist #fendersquier yes I know it’s a lil off tune

2025/12/10 Edited to

Learning to play bass guitar can be both exhilarating and challenging, especially when tackling popular songs like 'Feel It Still' by Portugal. The Man. This upbeat and rhythmic track is a favorite among bassists because of its catchy groove and distinctive bassline. As a beginner, it's natural to encounter tuning and timing difficulties — even small tuning imperfections can affect the overall feel of the song. Using a Fender Squier, a reliable and affordable instrument favored by many novices, provides a great platform to practice and improve. To enhance your bass playing experience, focus on developing a strong sense of rhythm and timing, as 'Feel It Still' relies heavily on a steady groove. Practicing with a metronome can help you keep on beat and gradually master the song's tempo. Additionally, watching tutorial videos or seeking advice from more experienced bass players online can offer helpful tips. Don’t be discouraged by initial tuning issues — they are a common part of the learning curve that will improve with regular practice and attention to your instrument's maintenance. Engaging with bassist communities using hashtags like #bassguitarist and #beginnerbassist can provide valuable support and motivation. Sharing your progress, even when slightly off tune, fosters a positive learning environment. Remember, every accomplished bassist started as a beginner. Enjoy the journey of discovering your style and connecting with music through your instrument.

Why you keep playing small. Visibility doesn’t feel safe.

Visibility isn’t just exposure… it’s vulnerability. If your body learned that being seen wasn’t safe, you will shrink—no matter how much you want more. Start small. Teach your body it’s safe to be seen. #visibilityfear #nervoussystem #somatichealing #confidence #overthinking
