After plodding along pretty much on my own for about 6 months I enrolled in B to B. I am on lesson 6 and am really
enjoying Josh’s teaching and all the additional material. This forum is really great, I very much appreciate the connection. Thanks for the welcome!

Yeah that’s the kind of foot ball I grew up with not the kind I’m living with. The one I’m living with only one player use his foot the rest use their hands. That’s why it’s called football?

Hi everybody - 55yo Super Noob but with a killer ZZ Top long white beard (it keeps catching in my strap). I’m crazy intimidated because my wife is a professional musician (rock cello) but the good news is I get her hand-me-downs (she runs a Line 6 Helix so I’m running thru her old Boss ME70 - makes things so much more fun!!!). I took the dive by buying the cheapest thing I could find on Craigslist (Epiphone EB3, mudbucker and all) and promised myself I won’t buy anything better until I finish this course! I did the free lesson 1 and am hooked so here…we…go!

Hi, all. I’m a second-time beginner in my 50s. I’ve played drums since I was 12, but I always wanted to play bass, too.
I picked up my first bass 10 years ago and dabbled enough to play a couple of sets with a church praise team, as well as write and record a few bass parts for a guitarist friend of mine for some songs he wrote.
My bass had been collecting dust for about eight years, and I just decided to have a second go at learning it properly and try to get better. I’m starting from the very beginning and enjoying the courses so far.
I’m excited about my journey here and I look forward to meeting many of you along the way. I know I’ll have questions.

Welcome, @reecee. Glad you’re here. Man, a wife who plays rock cello. Sounds equally terrifying and extremely cool. Enjoy the lessons!
