Hello Everyone,
My name is Maksym. I enjoyed dabbling with a guitar about ten years ago but it just did not seem to be the instrument to suit me. Until recently I attended a Christmas party and they asked me if I could play any instrument. I said "no". Then they said just pick up the bass and start playing and essentially they showed me how to "pedal" the root. I really enjoyed jamming the night away until I couldn't feel my fingers anymore! I then went online to check this instrument out. I didn't realise that it was such a versatile instrument. I fell in love with it and I can't put it down since. What an under-rated instrument. I went out and bought a bass and amp and the TMBG disk set and have been learning ever since.
Why do I feel bass is for me? Well, I think it is the rythym that works it's way into the bass, yet the instrument can be melodic as well. I never realised the many different styles of music the bass can really engage in well. It's an amazing instrument.
I hope to learn from this community as well
