I have now been playing bass for three years! It has been such a fun journey. When I started playing I honestly didn’t think I would get to where I am today. I am learning probably 75% of songs by ear now, which is something I never thought I’d ever be able to do. If CoverSolutions has a video on how to play a song I want to learn I usually just use that, but most other songs are learned by ear.
This video is the first song I ever recored on the bass, March 18, 2020, on my $90 Glarry from Amazon. I’m glad I have this as a reference, it’s nice to see and hear how far I’ve come.
(this one does not need to be added to the official list, thanks @terb )
This is the last song I learned. Definitely the most complex song I’ve learned by ear. I’m pretty proud of how it turned out. I was happy to get it in one take with minor issues.
Bass has become a very important part of my life. Hopefully someday I will find a band I can jam with that lives close by.
