Here’s something I can recommend, if you can find it…find people you really get along with to play with. I’ve played in a couple bands where I really didn’t know the other players that well, especially that one I played with on Valentine’s Day.
But here’s a pic of me playing with my friend/great guitarist. I remember exactly what happened at that moment (he made a…mistake :D). <>
It’s so much fun to play with people that are #1 not only good musicians (and what I’ve found is that you can really feed off of that energy…not only on stage, but in a way making you wanting to be better to ‘keep up’ – for me, I don’t necessarily want to be the best one in the band, but want to be pushed to do my absolute best), but #2 also people you get along with.
The guitar player is eons ahead of me in terms of ability, but it brings out the best in me. And when we make a mistake, it’s not the end of the world, but something we can smile about and deal with
Hi everyone!
I am new to the forum, even though I started taking Josh’s lessons a few months ago, when I received a short scale Bronco Bass for my birthday.
I used to play drums but I kind of stopped it since I live in a small apartment in Brussels. I study dramatics and when I don’t work, I sing (the musicals, folks!) and I go diving in our beautiful Belgian stone-pits and quarries (ha ha).
Have a great day/night, where ever you are! Hope you’re all safe from Covid!
Just bought Josh’s beginner course today. Finished Module 1 about 15 minutes ago. I used to play in a couple bands in the early 1970’s, (I’m 68 now). I only played by ear, which is why I want to learn properly this time. I bought a Yamaha TRBX204 bass and a Fender Rumble 40. Maybe by Thanksgiving or Christmas I can jam with some locals.
