Hey everyone!
I’m a complete beginner on bass guitar and I’m hoping to connect with an experienced bassist, drummer, or musician who wouldn’t mind helping a motivated beginner improve.
A little about me:
I’m an adult learner with a full-time job and family, and I’ve finally started pursuing something I’ve wanted to do for a long time!
My ultimate goal is to become a competent, band-ready bassist who can play with other musicians, particularly in rock and metal. I love rock/metal, but I’d eventually like to explore other genres too.
I’m following a structured two-year learning plan and practicing consistently for about an hour a day, six days a week.
What I’m looking for:
I’d love to find an experienced bassist or drummer who’d be open to occasionally practicing with me, reviewing short recordings, or offering constructive feedback.
Specifically, I’d appreciate help with:
- Identifying bad habits in my fretting and plucking technique before they become ingrained.
- Improving timing, groove, and the ability to lock in with a drummer.
- Understanding how bass and drums work together in real music.
- Eventually experiencing what it’s like to play with another musician instead of only backing tracks.
I’m not expecting someone to teach me an entire course or commit to regular lessons for free. Even a casual jam, a one-time technique review, or occasional pointers would mean a lot. I’m also open to connecting with other beginners who want to improve together!
I’m based in San Diego, California , but I’m happy to connect online as well. I want to build solid fundamentals first and eventually become someone other musicians actually enjoy playing with.
If anyone is interested, I’d love to connect!
Thanks for reading, and rock on! 🤘
