I hear ya OP
I'm the same age as you and for too long I've been a bass karaoke'ist
And in that I mean I can play the songs I learn with a decent groove and feel, but I know nothing about music or basic chord structures and would fail miserably to make my own lines on the fly in a jamming situation.
Deep down I know I've got it in me, but I need to start opening up that side of my brain and learn some fundamentals. Looking to start taking lessons as soon as I get my wedding out fo the way in Sept. Good luck on your journey, hopefully I won't be far behind ya!

Yes mate the best way I'm finding is to start from the start, the funny thing I'm getting is that my hands & technique is above what i'm learning but now because i'm understanding what i am learning, the information is instantly useful.
Have a go mate, i'm really enjoying my journey so far !
