Welcome aboard from another sister b-player. Always loved keys and tickled with that a bit and then about a year ago developed a burning desire to play bass. Bought lots of books and learned a lot from this site. I'm good with the theory ; it's getting the application down to a science. I work on scales, modes, chords, and plucking out the bass line from hymnbooks and chorded songs from this site. A real great bass player told me, "get the basics down and the funk will come in time." When I get real ambitious, I jam with the band during rehearsals for the church I pastor. Hope to form an all-female gospel band and just have a lot of fun. Whatever you do, pray, focus and have as much fun as you can! I salute you on this step.
