Hey everyone,
I first want to thank those who have been helping me with hand positioning for my fretting hand. I appreciate the time you've been taking to help me out. I want to do a formal introduction as I plan on integrating the bass to my daily life and don't see myself putting it down. Also, everyone here is really friendly.
A little about me, I've always wanted to learn an instrument. However, I've worked at a job that required about 10 to 12 hours of work a day for 5 to 6 days a week. On top of that I was going to school and had no time for anything else. I would usually spend what little free time I had hiking and outdoors in general just to see some sunlight haha.
Playing an instrument (guitar or bass in particular) has always been a dream of mine. I would daydream about it and think about it constantly. I remember picking up an old acoustic guitar and getting discouraged rather quickly.
About a month ago I went to a music store and held a bass for a few minutes. I liked the feel of it and decided that I was going to go for it. I initially did not have the time to really play it, so I only started to get into it two weeks ago. Since that time, I have been playing 4 to 5 hours a day and I don't ever want to put it down. It feels amazing to hold, to play, and I am always thinking about it. Even when I am not playing, I visualize the fretboard, playing chords, etc. It has been such a great experience and for the first time I feel like I am doing something that I actually love.
Anyway, sorry for the long post. I look forward to hanging out with you all and maybe even having real life jam sessions when I am good enough!
All the best,
V
