Bought a bass off my buddy when I was 18. Had a good ear for music and was in a band 2 mos later. Spent the next 10 years playing bass in an original metal band writing most of the music. Was always pressured to write and never really learned my instrument. Anyway, 40 now. Picked up an acoustic last year after being re-inspired by watching Alice In Chains Unplugged. Trying to take it more seriously this time around and hoping this site can help me learn the things I should've learned years ago!
