Hello @ArcticMonkeMan and welcome! I used to play the trombone myself. Reading notes seems not to be a problem for you then 
Enjoy the ride!

Hi everyone,
I started your course already Josh and I forgot to introduce myself.
My name is Antonio and I am Italian but since 2011 I am living in London UK. I started to play bass a few years back when I was 16/17 yo but after a bit I lost my way because I did not like my teacher and the way he was teaching. In 2011 I was coming to London for a new chapter in my life and finally I took the bass again in my hands. It is quite challenge learn the note in English but I am getting there, thanks to you Josh and the way you teach. I am into heavy metal. I used to play in a heavy metal band back to Italy. And that’s it pretty much
All the best
Antonio

Hey all. I’ve been watching Josh’s vids on YouTube for a while and when he mentioned the site - of which I was completely unaware until that point - I headed on over and signed right up.
I live in South Africa, just north of Johannesburg. I’m a bedroom composer, keyboardist, half-baked singer & songwriter, and hobbyist home recording artist. (Aren’t we all?)
I’ve been playing guitar (don’t criticise) for over half my life, and have noodled on bass a few times. I’ve recently decided it’s time to take the instrument seriously. So here I am. Hoping to learn as much as I can and become as close as I can to a badass bassist.
My bass heroes are Flea of course, John McVie, oddly Ray Manzarek (not many keyboardist/bassists around, were there, let alone bassists who played with their feet), and a good few others, but those guys stand out for me. Fleetwood and McVie - as well as Flea and Smith - just work so hard and so tight as units.
I think I’ve taken up enough of y’all’s time. Gonna go read the guidelines!
Peace

Hi @AntonioM and Welcome! Reading notes in a foreign language takes time, but eventually it’s second nature. At least I’ve made the experience
