Welcome aboard @crippledring,
Glad you are enjoying the course👍
A lot of us on here have parts that don’t work, but I think it most important to just enjoy and have fun, and it sounds like you are.

Hey cool crew. I’ve always wanted to play an instrument but never really had the motivation or the ear for it. As I’ve gotten older, I wanted to change that. My brain struggles with understanding music and feeling things so it’s been a struggle. I’ve had my bass for about 2 years now but never really put any real thought into learning it other than struggling to play tabs. Finally decided with this quarantine to change some things about myself, number one on the list was actually trying to learn it. So here I am. I’m on my 2nd day of beginner to badass, going the hardcore month route. Fingers are already hurting trying to unlearn all the bad habits I have developed and learning to be more useful than just holding things.

Welcome @Luther
They say learning a language is a way to re-wire the brain on a cognative level.
Learning music (especially if you get into theory and reading music) is like learning a language (with math).
This is one of the reasons I picked music back up as I have grown older, brain exercises, the other for therapeutic reasons, and the rest, cuz it is just flat out cool.
I am sure you can do it all with a little more focus. sounds like you have worked a little, kind of aimlessly, like I did in my youth. Now, picking it up, I decided to get focused, and this is where I came to do just that, so you have found the right place to accomplish your goals.

o/ Hi everyone. Decided to take up the bass because I’ve always wanted too and I feel that it’ll help with exercising my hands. Recently diagnosed with early onset Parkinsons and if I don’t learn to play now, I’ll have missed my chance. Looking forward to chatting with you all.
