Hey forum fam! I’m wondering if anyone would like to share video evidence of their bass skills before and after taking Beginner to Badass.
It would be a cool resource for folks curious about the course, but there’s also a chance I’ll make you Youtube famous and use the clips in an upcoming video (if you consent).
The more contrast between the two, the more useful it would be for my evil purposes.
I’m sorry @JoshFossgreen I don’t have a before video, but this is genuinely from zero bass playing (taking the B2B course from day one) to my 12 month point for what it’s worth. Cheers
This is my before and after.
The before was after playing for a month. The after is exactly two years later. edit: it was actually three years later. math is hard today.
I started doing the bass buzz course after one year.
A side effect of playing bass is weight gain. When I started playing I completely stopped working out to make more time to play bass. I don’t recommend this, but it’s what happened.
I could put together a first cover (recorded shortly after completing B2B) and do the same song now (about a year later), if that would help for your purposes (Another Brick in the Wall part 1 for the first, and this time around I could tackle the Part 1, Happiest Days and Part 2 in one go, or something like that).
But what you’re looking at is 2-4 hours a day for 52 weeks; no time off. I appreciate that not everyone has the spare time that I have (but I stopped watching TV and used all that free time for bass)
I reasoned that as I was starting late in life why not just go big and get my head down right from the start. YMMV.
Super cool idea!
I thought it would be fun to compare my performances of the same song some time apart.
The first one is halfway through B2B, coming back to it after a 3 year hiatus, and the second is 9 months later (which is about 3 months ago).
I played the song “Agitations Tropicales” by the french band L’Imperatrice, which I find super funky (even though I don’t understand a word )
You’ll be the judge if there’s any significant improvement LOL
