I joined AM about 2 weeks ago and just stumbled on this here forum. Cool space!
ME:
Started on ukulele at age 9, moved to violin at age 11 (classical). By age 14 all my friends were wanting to be rock guitarists or drummers so I took up the bass so I’d be in demand… it worked!Self-taught on bass, I learned to hear the tonic and the beat and that’s helped me immensely in many ways. Around age 22 I left the cover band scene and spent the next 40 years strumming acoustic – almost exclusively in open position. Earlier this year (partly to help with recovery from hand surgery) I decided to go electric and finally learn to play leads.
This is not an easy road to travel but I’m grateful for AM and this forum and glad to have the chance to walk these paths with y’all.
