Check here under my name for a sample.
Remember, you're going to make more progress by looking in front at where you want to go, rather than behind you to see where you stand in relation to others.

I've been playing bass since high school (25 years or so), and whatever abilities are purely incidental from having had my hands on one of the darn things for so long. Imagine if I'd spent all those years actually working at it!

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Metro St. Louis | | | I started playing with an actual electric on Christmas Day, December 25, 1975. That's when I started playing the bass my mother gave me for Christmas. The first song I learned was Donna Summers, "Love to Love You Baby." The first bassline I ever learned was "Heartbeat" by War ffrom their album, "Why Can't We Be Friends."
Considering my relative lack of accomplishment, I'm kind of embarrassed by my lack of development of the years. |
