Hello from Vermont

[OllieVT]

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!

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.

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.

I shall come as a leaf-peeper.

You have the lingo down!  Make sure to stick below 30mph at all times so people know why you're there.

Welcome Ollie.  I've spent time in Killington VT (ski-ing holiday) and Henniker NH (work). Nice part of the world.

Thanks!
