You may see it as a sort of "throwing yourself in at the deep end" - but you'll learn that bit more quickly. If you don't feel you want to join a band as such, just yet - try going along to an open-mic night If it makes you feel a little more comfortable, let other musicians know you haven't been playing too long, and ask if you can jump in on some of the songs with easier arrangements / structure.... As Tontee says - you have a bass collection already... so you're a fully immersed BC member no, the GAS hasn't started yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonteee Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) Heard an interesting Joey Ramone quote today on't radio: Play before you get good, because by the time you get good, you're too old to play. I'm taking the 'too old to play' bit metaphorically. Edited November 23, 2017 by Tonteee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
