I’ll be using upright bass, I see no issues. I’m Bobby

My First bass is the Schack bass I've been using since 1987. My main bass is a Sadowsky NY bass i had the privilege of trying at the luthiers. An amazing instrument... I've been using it since january 2005. The latest acquisition is a 1966 Fender Jazz reissue. I love It.

Welcome to Bass Circle!🤘🏻 Please don’t skip these steps. Introduce yourself and share: - The biggest thing holding you back - A photo of your bass I am excited to have you here!

I started bass in 5th grade after seeing REO Speedwagon, my favorite instrument instantly became the bass. I got heavy into sports and priorities changed.. Fast forward to 1 year ago when I started taking bass seriously. Now I practice all of the time and even when I’m in the car, I am studying and practicing by plucking/slapping on anything I can. I’m very determined to get better as I’ve recently started playing jam nights with other musicians. Biggest issue- I love playing tab sheets so I can hop in while also listening to the music. It is very therapeutic to me. But, I don’t retain the music unless I really buckle down and study a song. Therefore, my technical skill exceeds my music knowledge and how to create my own lines to fit any song. Goal- To have structured practice, not just tab sheets and grinding away at my favorite ‘workouts’. I want to be better at creating and improvising, while digging deep into music theory. I chose Ran Levi’s course because I like the way he approaches the lessons I saw on youtube. Very clear and speaks in a way I understand. Excited to improve along side all of you!

I’m Liam, 44 from the UK and almost 2 years into the bass journey having never touched a guitar my whole life. Played electronic organs/keys as a child where a lot of the theory came flooding back and definitely helped with my learning. Did BassBuzz last year and then spent the last 12 months just playing tabs and discovering new bands and genres. Started taking face-to-face lessons in March every fortnight to ultimately work on improv and ear-playing, with the goal being to go play live in jam sessions in London. Have played my first couple of these in the last couple of weeks and it’s been a good experience. Found Ran on YouTube, being one of the many channels I have followed. Looking forward to more learning here!
