      <title>Bass Guitar</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Listening to music in the car back home from rehearsals last night, Penny suggested that we learn the song &lt;em&gt;Paranoid Android&lt;/em&gt; by &lt;a href="http://www.radiohead.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Radiohead&lt;/a&gt;, with myself on guitar and Penny on bass.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There's only one tiny snag in this plan, Penny can't play bass... yet!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She does have a lot of experience singing alto vocal parts (kinda like female bass singing) and can already play other instruments and read music, so presumably she'll have a natural ear for basslines.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We shall see... I've bought a beginner's bass guitar book, a &lt;a href="http://www.muse.mu/" target="_blank"&gt;Muse&lt;/a&gt; notation book, some new &lt;a href="http://www.ernieball.com/"&gt;Super-Slinky&lt;/a&gt;'s and a couple'a plectrums.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We'll start tonight!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
