OllieVT Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Hello everyone. I'm originally from Birmingham (the UK one) but have been living in Vermont USA for the last 20-odd years. My 12yo started learning drums a few months ago, and I very recently got a bass to learn along with her. It's a blue Yamaha TRBX304 and I'm enjoying it very much. So far I'm mostly trying to play along with some simple songs on Songsterr using tabs and to remember some of the theory I learned a long time ago in childhood piano lessons. One hope I have here at a UK site is that I'll be able to find pointers to playing along to songs from my youth that aren't on Songsterr or showing up on cursory google searches. 90s indie/rock/metal, mostly. Nice to meet you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard R Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Welcome aboard! UK Brummie here, but I have been to Virgennes in Vermont on business many years ago. Vermont is definitely on my list of states to revisit as a tourist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OllieVT Posted August 10, 2023 Author Share Posted August 10, 2023 You should do it. I originally came on a nine month contract that I was thinking of as a sort of working holiday, having lived in cities all my life. Still feels a bit like that now.
