I just signed up for bass lessons. This time I’m doing School of Rock because it’s a performance based program. There will be two lessons a week, one private, one group. At the end of each season there’s a performance, like a recital but in a brewery that serves beer in the early afternoon.
I’m not doing this because I expect it to get me any farther than I could on my own. I picked it because having a group of people relying on me to show up and play will give me a reason to stop looking at the internet and actually practice every day.
I did have to spend money to buy a nice Gator transit case to fit my bass. I’ve been playing bass (on and off) for over a decade and never bothered to buy a case. They’ve just been sitting in racks all this time. I might buy some cheap Chinese brand cases on Amazon for all of my basses so that dust doesn’t get into the pots!
