Why Bass??

I like how all the stories end with watching Dmans lesson and how this has all helped everyone ... SO once again, THANKS DMAN! your videos are much appreciated.

Yeah thats cus Dman in the root of goodness in the world ^^

I use to listen to my brother play guitar and told him i wanted to learn to play but didnt like the sound of the guitar.. so he suggested i try out a bass and see if i liked it and if i did we could maybe start a band or just play together, so i went to the local music store and played around with a bass for about an hour then decided i was going to learn so here i am plucking strings (well trying).

Well, I can honestly hardly remember. I remember hearing Rush for the first time, and I did not like them at all. At the time I was into softer classic rock like America and Disco actually... Then a couple months later I was browsing through my Dad's music, and popped in a CD that was all red with red dots on it ( it was Rush's Hold Your Fire Album ). I didn't mind it, and eventually it grew on me. Then I started liking all of Rush's stuff. At first I was inspired by Alex Lifesons guitar playing. Songs like Working man, Ghost of Chance, La Villa Strangiato really got me going. Then I really acquired an ear for music. Before I'd only really listen to the guitar/vocals. Once I listened beyond that I discovered Geddy Lee,and his mad bass playing. Then I started looking bass lines and covers up on youtube all the time. I had caught the " bass bug ". After watching Sean Andrews ( bassist of a prog metal band Redemption ), and many other amazing bassists...Flea,Geddy Lee, Wooten, Chris Squire, ect. I decided I really wanted to play bass. Then my next Christmas my parents were ever so loving enough to get me a Squire J Bass and Amp. I was extremely happy! However for the first two months or so I hardly touched the bass ( due to its fairly steep learning curve ). That is when Dman came in! I found him on Youtube and took off like a rocket! I'm in multiple bands now, and are working on songs like Swlabr ( A song by Cream, check it out its awesome ) and Get Up And Jump. Mainly thanks to Dman's lessons. He's the one that jump started my bassyness
