It's cool that all these apps exist to help bassists learn new songs. Back in my day we had play parts of a cassette over and over until we got it. I also learned to play a lot of songs live on a stage. The guitarist would just call out the progression and key, like I, V, vi, IV in Am. Then we'd play it.

Doug Pinnick is one of my favorite vocalists and bassists. Thank you for sharing this. I did not know that he sang a tune with Dream Theater. John Myung is a maestro. It's good to see a younger musician experience the excellent songwriting of Dream Theater and the brilliance of the bass, the backbone of any great song.

John Myung - literally reason 6 string Music Man basses exist. I love that some parts of his that sound super hard to play are actually pretty easy as long as you have decent technique and speed. When I first heard Panic Attack I was like "Oh man, whew, I bet that is hard." Then I learned it and I was like, Oh, Pull Me Under was way harder, even though it sounded easier. (Although I guess it helps if you cut your teeth on Steve Harris for 15 years first. 😁 )
