How To Keep Making Music With Others During Coronavirus

No gigs, no jam sessions, not even a campfire fire singalong…

For most of us, coronavirus has destroyed our ability to make music with other people completely.

At the time of writing this, I haven’t played music with anyone else in person for just under 6 weeks – and to be honest, it’s making me a little bit crazy!

But just because we’re all practicing social distancing or even dealing with quarantines or complete lockdowns, doesn’t mean you have to stop playing bass and being creative with other people.

In fact, since the world shut down, I’ve had a few really cool opportunities to make music with other people without ever leaving my house.

It’s all done digitally and, in some cases, I’m playing with hundreds of people I’ve never even met.

Today, I want to show you how you can do the same thing and scratch that music-making itch that I know is inside you.

Of course, none of these are going to be a true substitute for playing music with people in the same room.

I’m definitely itching to get back to gigging and jamming with my musician friends, but in the meantime, this is what I’m doing to deal with the whole situation.

Stay safe and healthy and I’ll talk to you soon.

Cheers,
