Hello all!
My name is David and Iâve recently decided to start learning bass (again).
When I was young and restless (~16) I bought a cheap Hoyer(?) bass guitar and a Ashdown Fife Fifteen amplifier that cost more than the guitar. I started learning tabs to be able to produce something that sounds like a song and got a teacher because, thatâs what youâre supposed to do to learn an instrument right? Or at least I thought that made sense.
Due my impatientâŚphaseâŚletâs call it that. I quickly lost interest and donât even get me started on how boring music theory was for me BUT now Iâm older (and hopefully also a little wiser) and I really want to make work of it.
Some time, not too long ago I helped a guitar store by building them a website and they paid me in bass. I got this beauty, a Warwick Teambuilt Pro Series Streamer cv 4-string Burgundy Red Transparent Satin
Sad to say it stood for a while doing nothing but NO MORE!
A few weeks ago I decided to pick it up and just start training my fingers by doing exercises and learning some theory. When I was a bit more proficient I would find another teacher.
But what I discovered is that my training days were really random and I wasnât sure if I was doing it the right way or focusing on the right things. I needed to come up with some training plan/schedule.
Which brings me to here.
Iâve learned a lot from Joshâs videos and I enjoy the way he talks about learning bass. Iâve also learned that there are a few plans you can follow to grow into a badass so 1 + 1 = me getting the online lessons. Happy to be here and hope to learn a lot!
My current gear is the bass mentioned above, the Ashdown Five Fifteen amplifier 100w, the Vox amplug 2 and some old over the ears Sennheiser headphones that seem to be able to carry the bass.
Goals:
- Well the first step is obvious, become a badass.
- Get connected to a PC and start creating great sounds (and maybe even a song or 2)
- Find a group to jam with and maybe even perform
