Like A Virgin!

They call me Turbo but my name is Chris.p I am a total virgin when it comes to personally playing music. I'm pretty wicked with a cd player! For New Years I decided the one thing I have all my life wanted to do was learn to play bass guitar. Mighta had a little too much to drink or something else. So....what does dear hubby go and do? He buys me a Squire! Alrighty then.....opened my big mouth here so now I gotta learn how to play the darn thing. Actually I have managed to learn 4 songs and doing ok! But that little machine sits over there and taunts me. Surely I gotta be smarter than a bass guitar! Not quite sure yet, but we'll see how it goes. I'm pretty ok with a challenge even if it does come from an inanimate object that stares at me just daring me to pick it up.

Husband is a drummer so we've always got music going on in the house. Other interests.....I ride a Harley Softail Deluxe. So this is me in a nutshell. Some may even say I am the nut in the nutshell, but that's ok too! We all gotta be real in our own way!

Thanx.....I try to learn from husband's practice techniques. He practices on something until he achieves "perfection" or pretty close to it. So I try. Haven't learned to play with a strap standing up yet. That darn strap changed everything. And now I gotta stand up? Oh Boy!!!! Rolling Eyes

I want to be able to learn to read music but I don't even know where to begin to do that....being a foriegn language and all. So I plod on. I try to learn one new thing everyday.
