I had been messing with bass for years and always thought of myself as a bass player, even though I had never played in a band and could only play tunes that I had tab for and even at that i was limited to very easy tunes.
1hour a day is nothing dude, try all day and night as I couldnt put my bass down when i finally got into it, 18months ago.
Im now in an amazing band and giging at least once a month.
once you get a few scales down and get comfortable playing over some keys, then get yourself down to a local jam session to get some confidence playing in front of people.
Get a band together asap and get rocking brother[/quote]
Thanks for the advice, as it happens I have been offered to play with 2 others, the thought of playing live is not one I relish however as I do not like being on stage from previous experience (non musical performance). I accepted to join the band as I know this is the only way to progress. One hour a day isn't much for you out there but it is a huge improvement on my previous routine, must try to increase this. I really appreciate your advice even if it is given drunk
