Interesting. I had assumed they just stereoized one guitar track on the album.

Started using a metronome. Good tip! Feels like I'm screwing around just that little bit less.

Are you barreling through the whole tune from beginning to end or looping little sections?

Bit of both, more of the latter. It's good to get a feel for how it all goes together but I know time is better spent focusing on the trickier parts.

I want to stop screwing around and actually learn to play the bass guitar. is it a really bad idea to start with fretless? y/n
it's the style i eventually want to play so in my mind it makes sense to just go for it. i'm quite good at guitar and my playing tends to be more rhythmic than melodic. so even though they're completely different beasts, i'm not going to be a complete n00b when it comes to mechanical fundamentals.
any fretless players here? tips, tricks?

I'm not a bass player, but why fretless? Just because I associate it with more melodic, floaty styles and fretted with more rhythmic bass playing.

idk it's really the only style i've connected with? i really like the long slides and its "round" sound

Seems like you could go a lot faster with a fretted bass, but if you really prefer that sound....

i say go for the fretless if that's what you really want to play.
