I've been in school pursuing my teaching degree and this semester I have been student teaching. I have had no time to practice regularly, all my time is devoted to school or family/home concerns. I am not practicing daily like I am used to and the rust factor is creeping in.
I did take my drums out last weekend and subbed for my buddies drummer who could not make the gig. Besides that I'm only playing bass once per week when my band rehearses.
What is your strategy for holding back rust from not playing? (I should put a practice amp in the shitter and play while I drop the deuce...."idle time" ya know)
It is kind of a moot question because the only answer to not playing is to play!
Thanks for the opportunity to vent and complain!!
Now back to lesson planning!
