Howdy all! 52 year old native Texan living and working in Western New York. Always dug the bass and drums; going with the bass as it seems more practical with our current living situation (apartment). Played trombone for a year in middle school but remember nothing. Borrowed an acoustic guitar 20+ years ago and was learning chords and how to strum to some church songs I knew. Don’t own a bass yet, but I am picking up a used Ibanez this evening and got a new Squire Contemporary Jazz Bass coming late May (delayed due to Covid). Am starting Beginner to Badass tonight! Look forward to chatting with and learning from everyone.

After a lifetime of playing woodwinds (flute, bassoon, alto sax), never particularly well, I suddenly wanted to try the bass. I’ve been watching your videos (and others) on Youtube while waiting forever for my bass to arrive. It’s finally here! I’m starting even though I won’t have an amp until next week. (Tuning a bass with no experience and no amp was…interesting.) Excited to get started!

Finally getting on here to introduce myself…
Hello,
Firstly, thank you, Josh, for being a stellar bass teacher. Your infectious enthusiasm coupled with so much solid skill and knowledge is currently rocking my world.
Funny enough, I began playing bass at age 13, but after two years I got caught up with playing violin which quickly took over my life. Four years later I went to college and five years after that I graduated with a degree in (get ready to laugh at me) music theory.
Fast forward 10 more years and I sit here, 32 years old, rediscovering my bass after far too long away. I am almost halfway through the course now and I love it! My bass clef reading definitely needed some practice and I love working through all the little details of developing clean technique. Now, if I could only stop looking at the strings and wanting to see everything in violin fifths!!!
I look forward to chatting with you all soon…

Hi all! I got my bass about 5 years ago off craigslist (a flawless Mexican P Bass for like $200. You can’t pass up a deal like that), and learned to play a few bass lines on it (Gorillaz Feel Good Inc. being about as complicated as I got). I never really learned How To Play though and fell out of it pretty quick. The bass had been living under my bed almost entirely undisturbed for the 3 or 4 years until the new Dua Lipa album came out with its sick sick bass lines and now I want to lean to play for real. The Algorithm™ suggested some of the BassBuzz YouTube lessons and I’ve been loving them.
Cheers!
