onehappybunny Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Hey Emmanuel Welcome to Basschat!! Pretty much everyone on the site thinks they're not up to scratch (we're bass players after alll...not lead guitarists ) so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Best way to get up confidence is to practice regularly with a band, so try and get together with others and play to get used to locking in with the drummer etc. If you're already doing that, then why not have a chat to the guys you mentioned to pick up some tips. If you need some technical tips post specific question on that section of this site. Cheers and good luck! Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul, the Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 (edited) Those mini epiphanys will come. I plateaued for about 2 years and then had three in the space of a month Learn theory, play in a band. [quote name='Wil' post='67058' date='Sep 28 2007, 07:01 PM']Welcome to the forum!

So you need to have an A in English language to be able to post? Bass or for that matter, any instrument, is for people to be able to express themselves. I have seen 100's of spelling mistakes and punctuation errors on this site. So why now do you choose to publicly correct a new member?

ZPQ Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 |f you're real - then welcome aboard. I did assume the post was a windup perhaps by a longer serving member, but perhaps I'm wrong. If it is a windup it's quite amusing that people have gone along with it. If it's not a wind up, then it's hardly a big deal to suggest that people try to communicate in an understandable way and it's a shame a mod couldn't suggest so in a helpful way. Real or not - I look forward to more posts Emmanuel. Cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dood Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Well Emmanuel, you have certainly had the 'warmest' thread in the introductions forum I have read for a while. I hope that despite the 'banter' you have been able to extract the useful advice from the discussion. I also hope you enjoy your stay on the good ship BC. It's pretty chilled out here! -honest!
