(Setting) Graham's apartment

| > Eidin of course slowed in her step when she noticed the blood on the steps. She glanced around adjusting her guitar strap and looked around slowly while. She was a petite looking thing in a baggy white hoodie and short shorts-kind of clothes combination. Her long teal colored hair was tied into a messy ponytail, where her eyes and sides of her head were still generally covered by long messy locks of organized bed-head. Slowly she walked in and knocked on the door when she made it
| >You can hear a man curse and stumble over things, you can hear him walk over to the door until he opened it. There stood a tall man with bags under his eyes, messy neck length hair, glasses and a cigarette in his mouth, he proceeds to take it out.
"You're the girl who wants to learn bass right?"
>He cocks his head to the side studying you. Behind him there's an amazing display of guitars and basses! All on the wall they hung as they simmered from the light.
| "Yup~! That's me."
> After Eidin replied she smiled and slipped her guitar off of her back. She walked in while holding it at her side and looked around at the instruments lined up.
"I brought my own bass, was I expected to use one of these? Not that I mind...I'm just used to play-charging instruments. Don't need amps or power sources for those~."
| "Ahh play charging is a great thing. I didn't know if you'd bring your own bass or not"
>He smiles and pulls out one of the basses on the wall.
"Is your bass a 5 string, 4 string or 6 string?"
|
|
| "Six string, actually! I didn't feel comfortable being limited in range so I kind of got overzealous and invested in as many as I felt I could manage."
> Eidin admitted sheepishly, playing with her hair as she spoke. She shifted in her stance a little and glanced over the existing instruments...In the back of her mind the blood on the stairs earlier came to mind.
"By the way did someone fall on the steps or something earlier? I noticed blood on them..."
| "B-Blood? O-Oh umm... Yeah I think someone on the first floor had to go to the hospital"
>He blushes.
"Any way lets see the six string bass... I have 2 of em anyway so we can learn 6 string then. We can use 5 and 4 strings later with my basses... How does that sound?"
|
|
|
|
| ( Sorry for taking so long.)
"That sounds great!"
> Eidin replied with her eyes lighting up.
"Where do we start?"
> Seems she forgot all about the blood due to the idea of learning bass.

(Its fine)
"Right... Lets take out your bass and I'll grab mine"
>He quickly grabs a sic string off the wall and sits down on his bed. He starts tuning it.
"Y'know all the strings and such? And what playing style to you like?"
>He says turning the B string. As you look around the room you can notice somthing under his bed... Its orange and seems to be... A rabbit mask...

"Uh actually! I'm not entirely sure what style I'd go for with bass. I just know I personally enjoy melodic play. As for the strings aren't they the same for guitar? Just with a slightly different pitch?"
>Eidin replied, though she smiled sheepishly figuring she was showing her ignorance. She did glance about momentarily and noticed a mask under the bed. But she didn't say anything about it. Her mind did wonder though...
| "Yes, yes... Thats right"
>He begins to play testing the bass out... Its a funky little bassline that he plays perfectly.
"Well do you know any tunes?"
| "Well sure...I don't really know anything that one would play on a bass but..."
>Eidin began to strum a simple tune, she recalled an old classic she'd found in her travels 'Iron Man'. It was usually the easiest song to play on any instrument since the chords were fairly basic. Though Eidin was the experimenting type...she took her time trying different things with the tune.
"...Do I just play it like any guitar or..?"
| >>156936
>He chuckles a bit.
"Black Sabbath huh? Extremely old tune... And no basses have their own lines... If I remember correctly the bassline for that song is this..."
>He begins playing again but this time it seems to be the bassline for Iron Man.
"And normally you use your fingers or pick for most songs at least..."

"Haha, yeah...I know a lot of old songs. I'm actually really behind on the new stuff."
>Eidin admitted sheepishly.
"Plus old songs like these you can play anywhere without worrying about getting hit by any kind of legal suits...."
>The teal headed woman paused and listened carefully...eventually she'd try to mimick the sounds Graham made.
| "Theres no shame in listening to old songs! Thats practically all I listen to..."
>He stops his playing for a moment.
"So is there any song you want to learn? I've got a couple in the back of my head that are easy if don't have any in your mind..."
|
|
|
| "Mmm...Actually if you could get me more aquainted with the more recent songs that'd be great. Otherwise I'd love to learn how to play the bass line of Ace of Spades."
>Eidin blushed a little at the mention of the song. She probably didn't look like the kind of girl that'd play that sort of music. But it was clear she earnistly wanted to give it a shot.
| "Ahhh Motorhead huh?"
>He tilts his head grinning.
"Yeah sure! I'm gonna have to look up the bassline though..."
>He wuickly pulls out his phone and scrolls through it... He pulls up a page and starts playing some notes from it.

| >A crumbly building only lit by the giant neon guitar sign from the next door shop, Made sense considering this guy was giving lessons. Should be the place judging by the directions he gave you, he said just to enter and go on the 2nd floor to room 28 and knock. As you approach the foor it seems like there are blood stains on the steps, a welcoming sign.
