How long have you been playing?

[my name is mud]

I was just wondering how long some of you have been playing. Im going on about a year here. If you want please include a sample of your playing so I can get some kinda idea how far along i am heh. Just use 1 year if you have been playing for less

 

[Ed Fuqua]

I've been playing since high school, about 1972 or 73.

Check [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] 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.

ya know ed...i think I might start learning how to play music like that. Ive been holding myself back to rock, r&b, metal etc...I think playing a differnt style might help somewhat.

 

[Juneau]

I've been playing a little over a year, about 14-16 months or so. You can check out my playing if you like in the link from my signature.

Same here, Mark. 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!

[sonicaddiction]

I've been playing bass since I was ten which makes it fourteen years of bass playing.

 

[Dr. Cheese]

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.
