Learning things is cool. That's why we're here. Having an awesome support group along for the ride is just as important. Now that there are some lessons up, I thought it would be cool for anyone who had a win this week to share it. It can be that you got through a handful of lessons, or you had a solid practice with your band. No win is too small! I'll start. My band managed to book shows for every weekend in September. Usually we play over Labor Day, and then we are on break until after Christmas, so I am super stoked to be playing all month. What's your win?

Hey everyone. I am a 57 year old that picked up the bass again after 30 years. I was never good. I have been playing off and on, for the last 6 years with no real focus. I want two things. First, I want to be able to groove better. I want to be able to improvise bass lines, mostly in the jazz and latin jazz styles of music, but also different styles. I want to be able to play in jazz groups without feeling that I can't contribute.

Check out the classroom. Just put up some stuff. Have a great weekend & week. Post a photo of your bass corner - show us your basssss !

Hi, everyone! My name is Mike and I've been playing bass since '94-ish. I'm from Johnstown PA, which is about 50 minutes east of Pittsburgh. I'm currently playing in a traditional Irish/bluegrass band but love playing pretty much any genre of music. In addition to bass I play guitar, piano, and much to the chagrin of my cats, tin whistle (I'm still learning that). Outside of music I design and build (and ride) downhill mountain bike trails, I'm an avid gravel cyclist, and a Whitewater kayaker. My main bass is my G&L Kiloton but I also have a Chevelle by Jackson and an ESP LTD that's strung like the bottom of a 5 string. Here's a shot of all of my guitars in my home studio. Share a little about yourself and a pic of your practice space. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone!

I’m interested to see what the other classes will be like in the classroom.
