@FrankTriesBass Welcome to BassBuzz!

For your videos, the forum doesn’t allow uploading videos. Posting to YouTube is common and then post a link here to your videos.

As for where to post the links, start a new Topic and add them there.

I look forward to seeing them.

Hello. New guy here. My name is Javi, from Spain. Just entered in the 4th decade.

I spent a long time thinking about getting an electric bass, and in the end, my wife ended up giving it to me as a gift. I love music, I love the sound of the bass, and the solos. People like Abraham Laboriel and Pee Wee Hill drive me crazy. Although what I listen to is Metal (heavy, Power, speed, and symphonic) and Rock. My biggest problem is that I have no idea about music. I have no ear or rhythm skills. So, this is going to be quite a challenge for me. But I’m very motivated for this course thanks to the teacher. With his YouTube videos, I was able to start handling my bass. But now, I need something more substantial, more serious, tougher.

Big HI to everyone, and we’ll see each other around here. For now, I’ll try the 3-month course because with a one-year-old daughter, I don’t think I can afford to try it in one month.

Hi, I’m Erik!

For years, any time I picked up anything vaguely guitar shaped, it always felt really awkward and unnatural, and I could never pin down what it was. I wrote off stringed instruments as not for me.

Only until recently did I realize that it’s because I’m primarily left handed, and for whatever reason this type of instrument is the thing where my brain doesn’t want to be flexible.

Recently, my spouse has gotten into playing a mountain dulcimer, and my kid plays drums with School of Rock, and I felt a bit left out. So I got myself a lefty bass!

I’ve only been learning for a couple weeks, but it’s coming very naturally. I sang in choir junior high through college (bass represent), and I played piano for a couple years, so I have more than enough rusty music theory to feel at home.

I appreciate the course materials, the pacing is moving fast enough that I’m not bored, but structured enough that I don’t get left behind. I’m glad I gave the bass a chance!
