A couple of weeks ago when I went to my local music shop to collect my Ibanez back from repair, I bumped into a guy from work. We’ve spoken a couple of times at work, we do the same job, but work in different offices.
Anyway, he was asking what I had in the guitar case, so I proudly showed him my bass.
He said he plays rhythm guitar, he and his girlfriend were writing songs, and looking for a bass player, would I like to meet up?
So this weekend I went over and he taught me a couple of the songs they have written, while I hastily scribbled tab notes. We are planning to do some more practising soon. He seems pretty cool for me to get a little creative as I learn the songs. I’m just playing root notes to start, but as my confidence grows I can add a bit to the mix.
I guess I’m in a band now! No gigs planned, its a new venture, but it is so good playing with other people, I look forward to meeting the drummer on Saturday, and hopefully we can get a lead guitarist soon too. It’s quite exciting.
Awesome! Keep us posted

Thank you all for the kind messages. I’m just seeing how it goes for now. The couple of songs I have been learning are both acoustic guitar. If it is leaning too far over that direction it may not suit me long term. I just prefer heavier stuff. Time will tell, and it is good practise if nothing else
