Aneesa Strings: In the Pocket

 

 


Like you I was scrolling through Instagram and the new threads app the other day and I discovered a bass player that blew me away.  Not only is she talented but magnetic.  She is full of attitude.  I don't anything about her but what she puts out in social media is on another level.  She can she sing and play a number of different types of basses. Her presentations are professional, sultry, and positive.



I've heard her do some classic jazz covers, some originals and even a few tutorials.  I'm a fan.  I'd buy all her records.  Labels are unnecessary. Aneesa Strings is in the pocket.

 

Superficially but sincere, she is beautiful.  Her voice is sexy as hell. She reminds me of Chaka Khan, Sade, and Alicia Keys.  With only the latter playing an instrument and singing.  Not an easy task.  Back in the day she'd be a poster on my wall. She's managed to be a genuine woman without looking like the body exposing tramps on every other media outlet.[ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّٰهِ  ] Praise God.



 

Be on the lookout for whenever she goes live.  I'd buy a front row ticket if I were you.

On Guitar

  Learning guitar for me has been in stages. The stage I am in now is where I feel comfortable holding the instrument and trying to fine tune better ways to play it.  I am trying to be conscious of my hand positions so that I can make transitions better and not get tired. I am trying to fret my notes more accurately so that the dynamics of what I hear are intentional. I am conscious of my likes and dislikes.  The first guitar I fell in love with was an American Stratocaster I traded for a handgun.  At the time it was the most expensive guitar I had.  I fantasized about sounding like Buddy Guy or Stevie Ray Vaughn.  Then I bought a hollow body Epiphone and tried to get my B.B. King on.  I learned quickly that I will never be those guys.  The journey continued and I bought and sold a bunch of guitars until I found Dean Zelinsky.  He has some good marketing. I've had three of his guitars and can vouch for their quality and beauty.  You have...

Tone

  Tone   I have always heard guitarist talk about signature sounds and tones and wondered when and if I would ever get one.  I've been dragging a guitar around all of my life.  I just remembered a few minutes ago the time I bought a broken Ovation guitar to practice on when I was in the Philippines.  That was a long time ago but here I am today practicing every day, playing every Sunday at church and watching videos whenever I get a chance to increase my knowledge.  Last night, I heard my tone.  Like my voice it was on a low register, I tend to use a lot of bends and vibrato no matter what the song. I did a bass like pluck with my plectrum/pick with a soft mute.  I forgot what I was playing but I felt it come out of me like when you sing a sound in the proper key.
