Getting Inspired to Learn Bass

[losting]

Whenever I see my favorite singers or bands performing in livehouses, I become more interested in learning an instrument. It's really cool!!! If it's bass, will I improve quickly if I watch more videos and practice?

Welcome Losting.

 

While looking at videos can help with finger positioning ideas and such, the best way to improve is to practice with others in a band.  It doesn't have to be a gigging band at first.  I think most of us started out just playing around with mates.

 

Enjoy the trip.  The more you put into it the more you'll get back.

Learning bass might give you some quick results with simple tunes, but like any instrument, it’s not easy and requires dedication and practise, so don’t pick the low end for an easy win, but because you are drawn to it. Whilst you can certainly learn to play by watching videos, reading literature and playing along with recordings, as @SpondonBassed says, it is by playing with others and the dynamics that that involves that you will learn best and become a properly rounded musician.
