Hi, I am a 54 year old guy from germany and I just bought my very first bass and started the course a week ago.
I used to play guitar a little bit many years ago and decided to pick the instrument up again. I really enjoy the learning process and there is a lot of good material out there nowadys. By watching guitar videos I also stumbled across some bass tutorials. I always found bass a very cool instrument but had never really thought about playing myself. Over the past weeks my fascination with the bass started to grow and I realized, that playing bass actually involves a lot of music theory, so I figured, that this might help me get into music theory and really understand what I am doing.
I enjoy the lessons a lot and I find them very relaxing. There is something about the bass that is really special. And I like the idea of supporting the music by laying a foundation instead of being in-your-face like a lead-guitar.
Josh, you have a great way to teach. You really make the lessons fun and I feel like a child on christmas eve, who is excited to open his presents, every evening I come home after work. There is always something new and exciting and fun.
Most excellent!

Hello everyone,
My name is Jason and I’ve been playing bass for a little while now but without direction or guidance. A lot of what I enjoyed about learning bass was from Josh’s videos on youtube.
After a lot of trying to ‘just figure it out’ I realized that I needed structure if I was going to really improve, I needed some lessons and this was my first choice.
Thanks for having me,
Jason

Is this where I introduce myself? Hope so. I am a small, elderly, spunky, and not naturally gifted in the music department, but it seems I can do this. I picked up a UBass and fell in love with plunking rubberbands. Then I picked up the Squier shortscale mini which has a wonderful neck than almost makes up for its clunkiness. I play with a uke/mando/fiddle folky sting group so the UBass sounds a better, more like an upright. I need to find an old-persons band that has room for a beginner bass so I can practice on the Squier. All the bass players seem to have started when they were 16, not 70.

Hi Jay, yes, the course seems to be very structured. This was the main reason I jumped in. Yay!

Hi there Paula, I am glad to see another beginner who is not a spring chicken anymore. Yes I believe, we can do this. Experiencing other challenging hobbies like learning the guitar or martial arts I came to the conclusion that it is possible to achieve a reasonable level of competence by simply practicing the right things with a well structured learning path. Patience and sticking to a good program is more important than „talent“ in my opinion.
