Welcome @Luther
They say learning a language is a way to re-wire the brain on a cognative level.
Learning music (especially if you get into theory and reading music) is like learning a language (with math).
This is one of the reasons I picked music back up as I have grown older, brain exercises, the other for therapeutic reasons, and the rest, cuz it is just flat out cool.
I am sure you can do it all with a little more focus. sounds like you have worked a little, kind of aimlessly, like I did in my youth. Now, picking it up, I decided to get focused, and this is where I came to do just that, so you have found the right place to accomplish your goals.

o/ Hi everyone. Decided to take up the bass because I’ve always wanted too and I feel that it’ll help with exercising my hands. Recently diagnosed with early onset Parkinsons and if I don’t learn to play now, I’ll have missed my chance. Looking forward to chatting with you all.

Welcome @Roughneck94, that’s great you’re getting on stage so early in your bass journey! Was just watching a funny Jack Bruce clip where he suggested learning on stage instead of in your bedroom so you get to have fun and get paid while you practice. 
Welcome @LauraKlinkhamer, congrats on your confidence breakthough, happy to have you here!

Thanks tazette83, I feel welcome already! I’ve got an Ibanez TMB100K (seafoam), I’ve had a a lot of fun trying it out so far. I mostly listen to rock and a bit of blues music, I quite like the psychedelic style too.

Hello all, I’m Richard from Wales UK.
Used to play bass in bands in my late teens/early twenties but fell out of the habit when I left uni.
Fast forward to my 30’s and I picked up a new bass on the insistence of my wife. It was an Ibanez k5, which I still have a love/hate relationship with.
Since then I’ve gradually practiced, and was a patreon on josh’s other youtube channel for a bit. I play mainly at home with a minimalist home setup (monitors/audio interface etc) and occasionally jam with guitar playing mates.
I recently made myself a promise to practice everyday, and so far I’ve stuck with it. Here’s hoping this community helps with that!

Welcome aboard @Riastarthae,
Enjoy the ride.
You will get the motivation to keep pushing yourself once you get into the B2B course.
Cheers Brian
